Explore the Human 'Temple' in Amsterdam

Friday December 22, 2006
If your body is your temple, then a controversial exhibition is displaying remains of several individual "shrines" here in Amsterdam. Bodies: The Exhibition features real (conserved) cadavers and strives to provide visitors "greater understanding of your own physical makeup and with a deeper respect for the machine that gives you the power of life."

Not for the squeamish, the figures, organs and systems are displayed in action and according to body system. Head to the Beurs van Berlage at Damrak 277 before April 15 to see what all the buzz is about. Want to see what you're in for? Have a peek on the official Bodies Web site.
