Went to the myth of the human body exhibit in Taguig city. Macabre, but informatively fascinating. After you get over the initial queasy feeling of coming face-to-face with real, butchered cadavers, you begin to appreciate the painstaking feat and frenzied devotion that Gunther von Hagens possessed to make each one.
The exhibit is named after Greek Deities: Heracles (muscular and skeletal system), Poseidon (the respiratory system), Dionysus (the digestive system), Hades (the circulatory system), Eros (the reproductive system), Zeus (the brain and the nervous system), and Artemis (the fetal system).
I particularly liked the red man —- the cadaver with everything (bones, muscles, tissues) gone, leaving only an intricate web of nerves. I couldn’t begin to imagine how it was made! And the weeks-old zygote --- tiny, little thing! perhaps as big as a booger!
This exhibit is a must for anatomy fanatics and geeks alike!
