I went to the Body Worlds 3 exhibit today at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Honestly, I was expecting to be awed and terrified but it was somewhat disappointing (and expensive!). In 'Casino Royale,' which I thought was a horrible movie (all except for the Russian climber rip-off and Daniel Craig's pecs), the exhibit looked pretty awesome. I guess it's just one more thing that Hollywood has ruined for me.
Suprisingly, I was most impressed with the fetus exhibit. They showed various fetuses at different stages of development. They did an excellent job of creating atmosphere there with the music and all. It was really beautiful. Mankind doesn't appear so imposing when you realize that we all started out so vulnerable. It was a real trip, seeing the babies, seeing people walking around the exhibits and then seeing the dead people, posed and being admired.
