Human Exhibition

Hyde Park Walk.. on the way to the exhibition

The Carnival outside the Exhibition Hall. Not much of an appetite after seeing sliced up human bodies.


Took this photo while waiting for the ferry. Did a little of editing for the effects. Posted it coz i felt it looked good ^_^

The pictures do not seem to have any relevance to the title. That's coz i wasn't allowed to take photos in the human body exhibition. Went to a human body exhibition that had real human bodies. All the liquid in the muscles, skin and bones were sucked out and replaced with a concoction of plastic to preserve them. It was a really good exhibition.. there were exhibits of thinly sliced bodies, internal organs.. blah blah. Our body is quite amazing. But for the life of me, i can't point out where our kidneys, liver or pankreas are.

The exhibition did get me thinking about our creator. The creater thought about the need of every part of our body.. the concept of DNA which pre-programs our little cells to grow into a heart, kidney, brain....How many times the creater had to experiment... the wierd creatures that were created as part of the earth zoo.. and how long will it take for us to gain the knowledge to do similar things. Too bad i doubt the questions will be answered in my lifetime.

Good shots. I like all of them. Almost couldn't believe that you took them! (take it as a compliment) :)

Surprised that the exhibition does not allow people to touch sample human parts. It will be nice to be able to play with the organs (not the musical instrument).

I'm not surprised. You have some very odd way of spending your weekend.

Getting more reflective I see.

Eh, no gruesome photos of body parts? Cheh... am a little disappointed!

Already said no cameras allowed in the exhibition area wat.. geez. Anyway, there wasn't anything gruesome. Monash medical faculty body collection was more graphic.

This exhibition is coming to Melbourne as well. There were some comments about the questionable 'donation' of bodies .. erhm .. they come from China.
