When will the exhibition end?

argent2 · 10th November 2003

exhibition ends 8th feb.

no photography allowed, but you can buy the book...$35 which has all the pictures.

it's hard to believe that the bodies are real, they look so plastic..
but they come with everything...

oh, if you like to see how those hardware goes into the bones to fix them when they are broken, they have good models..

but definitely not for the fainthearted.

The parts are not replaced by plastic! The body and parts are preserved by a method called plastination. You can read more from here

ermm....plastination is a process whereby the body fluids and fats are replaced by plastic.
Not the parts...so naturally they look plastic.
Imagine instead of blood flowing thru the blood vessels...inside are plastic.

So they are infact plastic, not real body parts.

I wonder whether they should end earlier. I don't think they will have much visitors during the CNY period.

Anyone know the admission charge?

totally agree!! amazing exhibition - saw it in London last year too!! they even found a way to preserve the whole network of blood vessels!

not to be missed!

and the book is really good too, worth buying - for "biology" lessons..

very thick and allows you to relive the exhibition again and again..

amateur_photographer · 11th November 2003

is the exhibition open for public already? i thought they still don't have the permission yet?

loupgarou · 11th November 2003

opened to public, thankfully MDA allowed it (imho, they shouldn't have a say to it anyway, ticketed entry is caveat emptor, you don't want to see it is your own business, don't prevent others from doing so.)
