I'm in Minnesota and it is $50 for adults to get in the show. That is ridiculous. I wish that it was made more accessible to the public.

Last week while walking through Jacobi hospital, I noticed the Bodies posters everywhere as well. They are even on patient floors (I guess for visitors). It seems kind of disrespectful to have cadaver photos in the halls with sick patients around.

This exhibit is a complete rip off of Gunther Von Hagen's "Doby Worlds" exhibit. See the original, don't settle for a poor imitation.

It is a science exhibit. They are bodies in motion doing every day things. Good job trying to fake a controversy "Gothamist Science."

I actually got to see this and was strangely intrigued by it. However I did see a girl in a complete frenzy; yelling and stomping around about how cruel and disrespectful everything/one was in the middle of the exhibit. Because, that's super respectful. Anyway, what I learned was that the point of making the body look like it's playing basketball is to see exactly which muscles and parts are utilized to do that kind of activity. If you go you will see that they have them sitting, standing, "running," etc. etc. It's actually interesting because you see exactly what your body does while doing these simple, day to day movements.
