Heather and I enjoyed the exhibit. The lady that took the tickets re-iterated that there was to be no photography allowed, and they had people in lab coats making sure that we didn't inside. You are given the option of buying the audio phone to hold up to your ear, but we skipped that.
The detail was amazing. The bodies were free standing and you could see every blood vessel, muscle, fiber, etc...very cool. I read the little signs while Heather went from display to display. There were many body parts in glass containers with little notes showing what each item was. In the lung display, you see what smoking does to you and a big glass box placed next to it with a sign that says, "Each pack of cigarettes shortens your life 2.5 hours. Put yours in here." There were a lot of packs tossed in.
No blood and gore, although they had a warning about the babies/fetus displays (about 20). You could skip it if you wanted. At the end I picked up the only thing that you could actually touch - a brain, and placed it in Heather's hand. She immediately put it back down. Overall, we spent about an hour inside with no crowding. We sat down at the tables near the end and signed the guestbooks before we left.
Life goes by so fast...need to take a few seconds to write down and remember experiences that make me the person I am.
