Bodies, the Exhibition Tickets

Hi: I enjoyed going to see this, and my husband and myself spent 2 hours going through it. There was lots to see and experience. Unfortunatley evertime I had a question there was no one around to answer it. The staff where always around and that was good. I would have liked to have known more about the people ex: age and how they died. Also it would have been interesting to see a body with fat on it, just to see what most of us really look like under our skin!! I don`t think I would recommend this for children under 12 , because I don`t think they would have the same respect as an adult for the fact that these are real people. Kids get funny when there is genital being shown! Thank-you for bring this great exibit to Manitoba

Bodies was amazing! But is not for people who easily get grossed out! The show was so informative and to finally get to see what is below your skin and what makes you, you, was amazing to see. I would recommend it to anyone.

I knew the body was an amazing thing but after this exhibit my eyes were opened to just how unbelievable it is!!!

This was an amazing exhibit. Either you are interested in seeing it or you are repulsed by the idea. However if you are open-minded you will enjoy the interesting facts about our human body and how it really looks.

It was well designed, not to give the apperance of a morgue. I know some people were not impressed with a fetal display at this exibition. It was great in the aspect of hiding the fetal display so those who had chosen not to see it could walk by. I enjoyed the exibition greatly and did see the fetal display. It was well layed out and nothing was distrurbing to me. It is a fact of life and was protrayed with respect. The whole exitbit was displayed in a professional way, being a Uof M science major I've seen quite a bit of anatomy and was impressed with they way the bodies were displayed. It gives the average person a insight into their own bodies and how it works. Overall I didn't see any people screaming or saying negative things in the exibit. It was more of a quite, surreal kind of aawww as people walked around the bodies. I hope to be able to go again as I enjoyed it very much.

The exhibition is absolutely wonderful. The insight (no pun intended) into the workings of the human body is amazing. At the end of the Exhibition I felt like I wanted to see even more.

It was a very intimate look at our human anatomy. It makes you appreciate the complexities of the incredible machine, that is us. After seeing the exhibition, I believe it has a very positive effect on the way one thinks about and might treat their bodies, not taking it for granted as much, as most of us tend to do, myself included. It brings home that message with flying colors, better than anything I've experienced before. I think high school students would benefit tremendously from seeing this exhibit first hand. Bravo

It gives you a new appreciation for the intricacies of the human body. This exhibit was wonderful! It was actually interesting and educational, which you can't honestly say about most displays. If you're at all interested in how the body works I would highly recommend it. I went with my mother, who is a nurse, and she said that it would have been a great thing to visit back when she was doing her A&P class. So, any Nursing students (or Medical students!) out there should seriously consider popping in for a visit, if only to get an excellent visual of what you're studying. We recommended it to a couple of Nurses-in-training. Some of the exhibit might be hard on those with a particularly queasy stomach. The Fetal Development section has a cautionary message on the door before you go in, which leads me to believe that some people have taken issue with that section in the past. I laughed when I saw the box they had for people to dispose of their cigarette packages after viewing the diseased lung displays. Subtle ;-) They had Med School students wandering around in lab coats and answering questions, which was a nice feature. The signs explained things pretty well though, and there is the audio guide available (which we didn't use), so we didn't have much to ask. One very cool thing is that they show you cross sections of limbs and organs--instead of just a front view, or a side view--that you've probably never seen before. It's a very cool way to see how everything fits and works together (much better than the blue and red heart diagrams you'll find in your old Biology textbook!). I had to wonder where they got the bodies from though? Were they donated, or were they procured from prisons without consent (as I saw on one newscast)?

An amazing leaning experience! The best part was holding the brain, heart and shoulder blade.

The exhibition was fascinating and educational. I appreciated it very much.

Compared to Body Worlds, the same type of exhibition, this one has fewer displays, little explanations, worse crowd control, and even tries to get you to pay $5 for your picture at the end. Not worth the ticket price.

With some trepidation, i entered the exhibition, not sure what to expect. I was certainly surprised at how respectful the entire show was. The cadavers used were posed and shown in magnificent glory, rather than in a gory and horrific way. Not only was I amazed at all of the body's systems shown so clearly, I found myself in awe of the skill and patience of the dissectors. Before seeing the exhibit, i considered myself somewhat educated in Anatomy and Physiology. Now I realize I still have so much to learn. I'd highly recommend this exhibit to anybody. It was simply amazing.

I went into the exhibit expecting a lot more. It was interesting but I was expecting a few more displays. I would recommend attending this if you have the time but don't break your neck trying to see this show. Price-wise it was a good deal for a family of 4.

I found this event interesting. Everything was labelled and was able to view well. The audio thing that we had purchased was a little disappointing, as people where talking way to loud and some teenage girls kept screaming and saying oh gross to freaky like...made it hard to hear. We where able to touch a brain and heart, but the lady with the brain left as soon as we got to her post. There where several people that showed up at the same time. Not very professional of her to do that.

I was a little uncomfortable seeing "real" bodies, but that didn't happen at all. It was very informative and very well displayed. The student doctors were excellent as was all the staff. Good job.

The Exhibit itself is amazing and extremely educational. Every single exponent has an outstanding value in itself. There wasn't one piece alone, which could be omitted. I just wish the Exhibit was bigger and more bodies were brought in. I have seen other Exhibits in different part of the world, and was hoping that will be also the case.

This Exhibit was amazing. The work put into each display and the amount of knowledge needed to create this exhibit makes it even more amazing. It was a great experience and I have been recommending it to as many people as I can. This exhibit demonstrates how complex the human body really is. You have to see it to believe it! Thank you for bringing this educational experience to Winnipeg!
