2,600 Flock to See an Exhibition of 'Real Human Bodies'
by noteworthy at 12:59 pm EDT, Jul 3, 2004

One usually shies away from the dead, especially when they've been lying around for a while.

The grim curiosity with which people slow for accidents or sit through horror films does not normally extend to peeking at the innards of corpses, and yet on Friday more than 2,600 visitors flocked to the North American debut of an exhibition of 25 dissected bodies and dozens of human organs in various states of health, preserved by a process that makes them look like plastic.

"It's gross," said Cheyenne Barber, 9, although she was smiling when she said it.

Her cousin Kelsey Lien, 13, was more positive. "It's kind of cool," she said, "because they're, like, dead."

This book is expensive, but highly recommended. It shows detailed dissections using both photographs and schematic drawings. Truly fascinating.
