So after our lunch at Swensons at Plaza Singapura, we headed to 'The Body Show’. A Rare Inside Look At The Human Anatomy at Clark Quay.
Now, don't be mistaken by the other exhibit which is "Body Worlds & the Cycle of Life" which is held at the Science Centre.[we plan to go for this one too]
The Body Show is by the United States which showcases plasticized body for medical purposes while Body Worlds is from Germany has the same purpose but the exhibits plasticized bodies from Gunther Von Hagen himself, The creator of Plastination and he also uses these bodies as a form of art with its provocative positions. [I know abt Mr Von Hagen via Discovery Channel 4 years ago and was awed ever since]
One other difference between both exhibits is that no photography is allowed for Body Worlds, well, unless you try to sneak a snap.
I have been to Body Worlds when it first came to Singapore so I decided to check out Body Show with Jhon just for fun.
At first level, we were greeted by this naked golfer which made our heard skipped a beat but it turns out to be just a piece of cardboard. haha
The main entrance... i didn't know Jhon caught our reflection too.
When we entered, we were greeted by a real skinny dude on a bike. [bike was was sponsored by some bike company so that explained alot]
and then we met the real naked golf man, along with the naked football player guy with his ding dong sticking out.
There were many individual displays of organs/ body parts too.
The top picture is not what you think. Its your gall bladder.
Larynx on the left. See the Adam's apple?
Sliced up guy lying on the table. (cut horizontally)
So we met up with this guy who waited for us till he turned into nothing but bones.
So Jhon tried to chat up with him and console him.
but i told him "Who asked you to not to double check with us huhhh?"
yea..... lame.... i show you more pictures ok? *grins*
Hanged sliced up guy (cut vertically)
The flying man.
Playing chess.
So we also got free mugs (sold at S$4+) from the exhibit because we were the first 500+ NTUC member customers. haha but i find the mug really cool. We got souvenirs!
We also signed their guestbook and see how shamelessly wrote my blogsite address. haha
actually, we kinda cheated. We wrote on the guestbook when we first entered the exhibit. hahahaha!
It was a special experience for Jhon since he is the one terrified of mannequins n blood. Mixed them together and it could spell hell. But Jhon managed to stay cool and collected especially when taking the photos and guess what? he managed to overcome most of his store mannequins because of this. Good eh?
