Bodies: The Exhibition in my opinion is disturbing. There were people there who claimed to know about the bodies… but I am not so sure they really cared and the audio tour was crap. The exhibit themselves were informative if you enjoy lots of reading. As we went deeper into the exhibit we started questioning the lives of these”models”. Wondering if this is what they thought there bodies would turn into. Awkward poses, sawed in half, and gawked at. I felt uncomfortable, almost haunted, if there is such a feeling. When it all ended we were greeted by these cards.
The best part of the exhibition was the actual realization of death, disease, and the fact we where looking at real dead people. During our visit, Russ noticed on one wall quotes painted ” On average, a pack of cigarettes takes away three hours from your life.” He did the math and figured he should be dead by now. With our choice to possibly extending our lifespan by not smoking we did the logical thing and quit. Never before was it illustrated so clearly then by the writing on the wall among the dead. If you are a smoker please go see this exhibition, you’ll never look at life the same.
