REAL BODIES at Horseshoe — Attraction in Paradise

The exhibit features preserved human specimens, allowing visitors to see muscles, organs, and entire body systems up close. The level of detail is astonishing, and each section is thoughtfully curated to highlight different aspects of the human experience, from birth to death and everything in between. The integration of cultural and historical perspectives adds depth—discussing everything from ancient burial practices to modern medical advancements.

One of the most striking aspects is how Real Bodies connects human biology to emotions, social issues, and even existential themes. It’s not just about looking at organs; it’s about understanding life itself. There are also sections exploring the impact of disease, lifestyle choices, and even the effects of pandemics on the body.

The atmosphere is respectful and educational rather than macabre. The dim lighting and dramatic presentation enhance the experience, making it feel almost like an art gallery rather than a science exhibit. The exhibit is self-guided, allowing visitors to take their time absorbing the information.

While some people might find the display of real human remains unsettling, it’s done with dignity and a clear educational purpose. If you have a background in healthcare, science, or just a curiosity about the human body, this exhibit is absolutely worth the visit.

Final Verdict: A fascinating and deeply engaging experience that offers a rare look inside the human body. Highly recommended for anyone interested in anatomy, medicine, or the...

This exhibition is very educational for science purpose. It is very well done and you can learn a lot about human body. Buy, it made me very uncomfortable for ethical reasons. These bodies came from China undocumented and without donor consent. They could potentially be murdered in Chinese prison and then sold. As I was walking through the exhibition, I kept thinking that these poor people properly never expected to be displayed to public in a foreign country after death, and I wonder if their families know where they are. This is to respond to the owner's response: Below is the disclaimer on "bodies, the exhibition" website, which does not match what the owner responded to my review: "This exhibit displays human remains of Chinese citizens or residents which were originally received by the Chinese Bureau of Police. The Chinese Bureau of Police may receive bodies from Chinese prisons. Premier cannot independently verify that the human remains you are viewing are not those of persons who were incarcerated in Chinese prisons.

This exhibit displays full body cadavers as well as human body parts, organs, fetuses and embryos that come from cadavers of Chinese citizens or residents. With respect to the human parts, organs, fetuses and embryos you are viewing, Premier relies solely on the representations of its Chinese partners and cannot independently verify that they do not belong to persons executed while incarcerated in...

This was a great exhibit, worth the money. I love that they ENCOURAGE you to take pictures and share it with people, in a lot of exhibits they either prohibit or discourage it. I always wanted to come to Bodies, now that I have, I am not interested in coming back. I know that sounds oxymoronic. Even though I am not squeamish, I've always had a very strong stomach, there was just something about being around a bunch of plasticised cadavers that was, well, creepy.

I loved seeing all of organs and blood vessels, I thought it was a very cool thing to be able to see all that stuff in outside of the body up close, but as I walked through, I got more and more nauseous, it was this pervasive feeling of someing just isn't right here, and that's not untrue. It's not natural for the bodies to be vewable in that manner, however, again, I enjoyed it on the whole so, all I will Say is, if your interested in human anatomy, like I am, this is one of the most amazing things you will see in your life.

There are a few things which some ppl may not like to see that they marked off as such with signs behind curtains or in rooms you can bypass, such as an exhibit with a whole unbroken piece of human skin, real babies from the womb, stuff like that. So you can bypass it if you like(which I did with a couple of...
