Today I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at The Leonardo in Salt Lake City. I went with my coworkers Lacey, and Kamille, and Janalyn went with us too. We first ate at the Olive Garden for lunch and then headed up to Salt Lake.
For those who haven't heard of Body Worlds, it is an exhibit with real human cadavers that are set up for display so that you can see the bones, muscles, veins, tendons, ets. It was so interesting! Christian and Tara, you will have to go and see it while you are in Salt Lake for Christmas.
People actually donate their bodies to this exhibit and so what you are seeing is the real deal. There were some specimens that had tumors and diseases in them so you can see what that looks like. There was also a specimen that had an artificial hip and knee. There was a camel cut into three pieces laterally so that you could see it's teeth, stomach, intestines, etc. There was a brain on display with all of the human nerves attached to it. It was amazing. I learned a lot, it was really interesting.

This exhibit was in NY when I was there, but I couldn't decide if I wanted to go or not. I knew it would be interesting to me, but I also knew it would be gross. Maybe I will go some day.
