Truthfully, I think there's a big difference between looking at a freshly-degloved leg still attached to a person who's in extreme pain and going to a museum to look at degloved bodies. I think it wouldn't be for me, mostly because I have seen too many before they get to the museum stage. Interesting concept I guess.

Twice - two different locations.

Works such as this gave rise to the expersion "full-of-awe."

REGRETFUL notation on the site: We're sorry, there are no vacancies for the time being.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Hell....this IN NOT the ER....or the anatomy class with cadaviores...or even the graduate-student pay-scale of 3 hours a day ...one face per week, delicately pealing the skin of a human face...This is ARTFUL-AWE and TASTEFUL-TECHNOLOGY.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

I saw it when it was in London.

I thought it was superb, although some parts made me wince (such as the section on birth).

The exhibition seems to make people uncomfortable because it makes you come face to face with your own mortality in the most direct of ways. On the other hand, i found it deeply facinating.

Highly recommended!
