Bodies Exhibition at Atlantic Station

BODIES…The Exhibition is an amazing exhibit featuring real human bodies now going on at Atlantic Station Atlanta. The exhibit starts out with the skeletal system and then adds others including the muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems.

What is cool and amazing about Bodies…The Exhibition is it gives us insight to understand how the human specimen functions. This privilege has normally been reserved only for professionals in the medical field.

Inside Bodies…The Exhibition

All together there is a total of nine galleries containing over 250 bodies, systems and organs. Along the way some of the more fascinating scenes include human specimens that are set up to play activities like basketball or conducting an orchestra. Inside other rooms folks can see all the veins and arteries inside of the human body, or the human intestine completely stretched out. In short, the exhibition allows us to visualize the human anatomy in a way that words alone could never do.

The bodies and organs on display have been permanently preserved through a complex process called polymer preservation. In essence, the bodies are prevented from decaying through a rubberization process that involves silicone rubber, epoxy resin and plastics. This innovation allows people of all ages to view the complexity and workings of the human species.

“Bodies” has been one of the hottest Atlanta Attractions around and due to popular demand has extended its tour dates. The event is currently scheduled to run through 1/1/2011. It is located at the Atlantic Station Exhibition Center, 265 18th Street, Atlanta, GA. The box office phone number is 866-866-8265.
