 Before meeting up with  friends Friday night, I decided to stop by the Bodies exhibit for some quick sketches. If you are looking for great visual and mental stimulation this is the place.

The Bodies were authentic, beautiful, and as scientifically displayed as possible. As a design major, I couldn't help my interest in how one goes about displaying the human body to paying customers. I enjoyed the facts and information given with each display, particularly the way the male and female body were portrayed and exhibited.

The human body is such a sensitive subject to display; in fact, it is on the edge of offensive. I struggled to depersonalize myself from the bodies while walking through the exhibit and tried to simply see them as works of art.



I would suggest not eating beforehand as I did.
