So we had a family outing this weekend this is the coolest exhibit I have seen in a long time. I really didn't know what to expect but WOW it was incredible. Its Body World and you can see it at The Leonardo downtown. You aren't allowed to take pictures inside so I snapped this from the outside with my cell phone.
So this guy gets the bodies and puts this plastic on them and then protrays them doing things. This exhibit was a sports theme. http://theleonardo.org/bodyworlds/index.php Here check out the website. Here is an example of what we saw:
This is the Javaline Thrower - pretty amazing huh!!
That is a real body, with real muscles, real bones. He cuts certain parts open so you can see inside the body, see the joints, the tendants, so you can see how your body works.
They had a human heart there they showed all the veins, the valves, how it works. They had a head there but they had taken all the bones out, all the brains out, and left just the veins - it was so weird, hard to describe how amazing it was. The only part that wigged me out was the baby section. They had these 12 tubes standing there and each tube had a baby in it, in different week stages. It was so hard kind of to see these babies, they really are the size of a bean, and you could see the toes, the finger, the eyes - how could anyone think that these babies aren't alive and have abortions? It was so sad - They were actual babies. They also had babies that were well into their 16 weeks, 21 weeks, 32 weeks and more - so weird!! But it was fasinating!
If you get the chance to see thise exhibit, check it out it will be well worth it. We spend 3 hours there and could have spent many more hours there. AMAZING

It was amazing! I thought i'd be more grossed out but I wasn't! The baby thing was so sad though. It was amazing at 9 weeks it looked like a baby!
I've wanted to go to this exhibit for a long time. It looks so cool.... I hope it comes to Omaha some day!

I'm not sure if I could stomach that, but it does sound interesting. My niece is going there on a field trip next Monday and was talking about it this past weekend. I'll have to check out the website.
