    I thought it was really bad. I sincerely doubt that the bodies are real. They didnt look real. Some were missing muscles, some muscles were originating from the wrong part of the skeleton. Some actually just looked like bad waxwork dummies. They had their facts on the digestive system wrong. Considering the massive focus on cancer they gave the impression that having food sitting in your colon for more than 72 hours was ok, when its a main factor in bowel cancer (they only seemed interested in the smoking link, a very careless attitude I feel, when diet plays such a massive role). The lymphatic exhibit was missing its lymph nodes as well as being displayed in such a way that the most important parts of the system were not easily visible (ie theyre on the front of the body more than the back) This exhibit is a poor imitation of a fantastic idea. I went under the impression it had something to do with Body Worlds-because the media adverts had pictures that looked like well known Body Worlds pieces. You are not allowed to take photos. Most likely because if you were to look at a picture someone took, you wouldnt bother going, because you would see, theyre not real.
