The Body Museum


A couple weeks ago Robert, Lyndsey, Ben, and I went to the body museum up in Salt Lake. It was really amazing. Not for everyone, though, I do have to say. We had all gone to the haunted houses together a few weeks earlier and on the way there I was feeling more scared about THIS. For those of you who haven't heard about it... They are REAL bodies. There weren't very many full bodies, maybe 10 or so. Most were displays with different organs, but that wasn't as interesting to me. It was so amazing to see how everything goes together. They mentioned how compact the body is and I was surprised by how small the organs were in full size adults. When you start thinking about everything that fits into such a small area it is really amazing. It was really quiet and dark in the museum and everyone was very respectful. It was like being at a cemetery. Afterwards we went to Rodizio Grill for dinner. I know, we're sick. Too many of the meats reminded us of what we had just been looking at. Robert even ate a chicken heart which was actually on display in the museum. Gross.
