<p>has anyone seen the bodies exhibit at south street seaport in NY? im going tomorrow and i just wanted to know if its cool or gross. it looks rather interesting but im not sure i can handle it</p>
<p>I think the same exhibit (if you are talking about the embalmed and skinned bodies) was here in Cleveland last summer. They were cool, but I like dissection and anatomy. You may be different.</p>
<p>well i like anatomy i just hate blood. i would love to be a doctor but blood makes me quesy. weird, i know</p>
<p>We saw this exhibit in San Francisco. I found it interesting, amazing, gross, weird and different. Some of the exhibits have bodies posed in everyday activities: i.e. riding a bike, or batting a ball. They do not have skin on them, so the muscle or bone structure is on display. The bodies have been “plasticized”. One display has a man holding his skin folded over a wire hanger like a suit of clothes. It is also amazing to see the miles of blood vessels that make up the human circulatory system. You will learn a lot and won’t forget the exhibit. It is however, creepy, and one has to wonder about the people on display.</p>
<p>Then don’t ever become a surgeon, prepchick91! And no, there is no blood at the exhibit, just the vascular system.</p>
<p>haha, I ended up seeing it twice. My grandfather took me to it in Cleveland and kept saying “it was a once in a lifetime experience.” I went again a month later with NASA SHARP to the one in Chicago. Its pretty interesting, not as gross as I originally thought.</p>
<p>zpmqxonw, for what other reason were in you in my hometown (Cleveland)?</p>
<p>with what you all said…i think i can handle it</p>
<p>Kman1456, I was in Cleveland for my cousin’s bat mitzvah. Lots of relatives back in Ohio, so we usually go back 1-2 times a year. </p>
<p>P.S. prepchick91, its not really as gross as it sounds. I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine also. It reminded me a lot of like in anatomy classes where they have a model of the human skeleton. And I agree with whoever posted about the arteries. It was amazing to see all of them.</p>
<p>haha cool thanks . im excited now. do they allow cameras in the exhibit?</p>
<p>Not another Beachwood man…
They probably do allow cameras, since they are not paintings, and this is not an art exhibit.</p>
<p>haha, you’re half right… But, I’m not a man ;)</p>
<p>I was half right on the place? The only other place that has a lot of Jewish is Lyndhurst and Shaker Heights, which means you were within a few blocks of me at some point. And sadly, I would not have guessed you were a female.</p>
<p>haha, its okay…Yeah, you were right on the place. I’ve got relatives all over Ohio (Beachwood, Solon, and Columbus?). Are you from Cleveland?</p>
<p>Yes, I am; I live right next door to Beachwood and have attended classes there, although I mostly spend my time in the place right to the west, Shaker Heights. Most of my HS teachers live in Solon.</p>
