Went to this today and cannot recommend it highly enough. No doubt you may have heard of this exhibition with real cadavers set in various lifelike poses. But it is all tastefully done and very educational to see all the different muscle groups, etc, 'in action'. Don’t know how long it’s on for but it’s around £12 to get in, 9 if you flash a student card  Tim |

Agree with Freebie here. I went to this exhibition in Amsterdam last year, it was extremely educational and, as Tim said, the cadavers are displayed in a dignified manner.
From what i remember, this company has had problems with gaining permission to exhibit in the UK, mainly due to the human gestation area which included embryos and fetuses, so not sure if the entire collection will be on display, but well worth a look.
Cheers,
Bel

Ah! now I get your post on the QP thread.
Thanks for the heads up Tim. I went to the first Gunther Van Hagen's Bodyworlds exhibition in Bricklane about 8 years ago. It was so good I went twice. It would be good to go again.
Cheers Dave

I can confirm that the fetal development section is present. It isa at the very start of the exhibition as you walk in. Off all the exhibits I suppose that one is a little tough for the parents among us, but fascinating all the same. To be honest I think any potential 'voyeurs' would be dissapointed, it is definitely not a freak show, but for anyone with a genuine interest in the workings of the human body it is unmissable imo.
BTW there is a genuine, huge surprise at the very end. I won't give the game away but it is over 18 feet tall!
Cheers,
Tim
