The other week I took the time to go and view an exhibition that I have been looking forward to seeing for some time now.
Bodies Revealed is an exhibition held in the centre of Liverpool on Paradise Street located at Liverpool One. The duration of the exhibition is from Saturday 1st September to Wednesday 2nd January. I would recommend that if you get the time go and view it. It is truly an extraordinary and unique experience.
Bodies Revealed is a wonderfully enriching experience that astounds and informs all at the same time, allowing visitors to get up and close to pieces of work that explore deep within the human body. It is very intimate and informative way of viewing the human body.
Using an innovative process of preservation, Bodies Revealed showcases over 200 real human bodies and specimens that are displayed in a respectful and tasteful way that gives us an amazing insight into the inner beauty of the human body.
The process that allows for these specimens to be displayed is called polymer preservation, a form of permanently preserving the human tissue using liquid silicone rubber. This stops any form of decay,
offering thousands of unique teaching possibilities for educators at all levels. Preparation time varies: a small organ may take only a week, while a full-body specimen may take up to a year to prepare.
After quality preservation, specimens can last for decades.
The exhibition displays a range of specimens that include; skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrine, and circulatory.
