BodyWorlds2

Sunday, March 20, 2005

Finally checked out Body Worlds 2 at the California Science Center. Body Worlds 2 is the sequel exhibit to the highly successful and original Body Worlds, which gained a lot of publicity and controversy during its run.

Pretty amazing stuff. I’m curious as to how the process of Plastination works. By far the most fascinating display was that of the human development process, starting with embryos to an actual series of displays of a fetus in its mother’s body. Crazy stuff. Definitely worth checking out.

A bit of warning: this is not for the faint of heart. This exhibit displays REAL human bodies, and I must confess that I got a bit woozy for a few minutes after stepping in. But once you get over the initial shock, if you’d like to call it that, the whole experience is a great learning experience.

We then hit up Thai food at a place called Chow Chao Krung on Fairfax, near Beverly. Good food, good company. Good times.
