When I heard the BodyWorlds exhibit was in Houston I knew we had to go. My kids have been BIG into anatomy, human and otherwise, for the longest time now. We watch surgeries on Discovery Health almost every evening before bed. We read book after book about the human body, including many probably intended for at least high school level. They love it and have so many questions.

BodyWorlds is an art/science exhibit which displays preserved human bodies in all sorts of different artful poses. No doubt it was interesting, yet . . . I guess somewhat disturbing.

I am reminded of the Seinfeld episode, titled “The Kramer” I believe, where an artist asks Kramer to pose for a portrait. The painting ends up in an art exhibit where an older couple are discussing it saying “disturbing . . . and yet I can’t look away”.
