Doctor of Death

I went to see the Bodyworlds exhibition on the very first day it opened.

It's good! Well worth the money. Entrance fees are $20.

No cameras allowed, but we were graced by Dr Gunther (aka Dr of Death), the man himself who did all the dirty work.

He was taking pictures of his own exhibits.

We managed to get a picture with him. Post another day. I'm honoured to have hugged the man who invented this exhibition.

I shook his hand too!

The hand that skinned the bodies.. Prodded the organs.. Handled the corpses.. Played with muscles and bones and brains and unborn foetuses and intestines and smokers' lungs and the likes.

Eh.. Am I supposed to be disgusted? Nah.. I love the whole concept.

I wonder how my insides look like.. Anyone thinking of donating your dead self to this quest for knowledge of our human body?

There is so much more! I can't possibly say all.

My fav? The real, dead, horse.

There is a giraffe, deer, and octopus too, besides (mostly) human and human organ exhibits.

He is doing an elephant next.

Plastination. Ooooohh..
