Bodies The Exhibition... if you haven't seen it, you should. I went this past weekend to the Atlanta Civic Center to see the exhibit. It was very crowded but worth it. The short explaination: they turned real bodies into plastic and arranged them to show different aspects of the human bodies. The exhibit started with bones, then moved to structural muscles and proceeded through all the internals. Fascinating and kinda creepy. The site gives some of the details of on the how's and why's.

Notes:
They don't allow you to carry much of anything inside the exhibit. No food, drinks, big purses, back packs, strollers, cameras, cell phones, etc. (See site for full details). Bring $5 for parking - at the Atlanta Civic Center. Order your tickets online to save yourself some time in the long lines. Bring some patience since there will be long lines and lots of people even once you make it inside the exhibit.

Parental Warnings:
If you have small kids be prepared to carry them either in a sling or something similar. No strollers are allowed. If they are old enough to walk it might be tough to keep track of them since the exhibit is fairly dark and crowded. If your kids are older be prepared to answer a lot of questions since the bodies are anatomically correct (mostly male bodies but a few female ones too, including an area on just the reproductive systems). Be mindful of the fear factor as well, they are real bodies and it could be very traumatic for children who don't understand.

All, in all... it was a very fascinating exhibit and I highly recommend seeing it when it's near you.
