Bodies The Exhibition


On Saturday, Brock and I went to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Station to see the Bodies Exhibit. We had been wanting to go see it, and Saturday was a nice day so we decided to go out and do something. It was very interesting. We weren't allowed to take any pictures, but I found some online of some of the things we saw. This is a man's muscles holding hands with his skeleton. You can see the man playing basketball in the background. There were a lot of these displays to show the different muscles in the body. They also had displays of organs. They showed the difference between healthy organs and ones that had diseases and cancers. We saw a kidney that was filled with huge kidney stones. They had one display that was just an entire body's nervous system. They had a room with fetuses at different stages of development.

We both thought the veins were most interesting. They had several displays of veins, one was an entire body.

After we saw the exhibit, we watched a documentary about the human body in the Omnimax theater.

Way to stretch your brain. It's all amazing, but I can always do without the fetus exhibit. Once in my life for that part is enough.
