Hey chica, good to see you around here again. :)
I almost went to this exhibition in NYC when I was there a few months ago, but we were on a very tight budget and had to skip it :(
I kept seeing the ads for it in the subway trains and I have to say it looks really intriguing, if you have an affinity for the grotesque.

well i saw it and i'm saying it.
there was this moment when i was watching one of the bodies up close, i was standing just in front of the thing but looking down, and i raised my sight a lil bit and my eyes met the eyes of the body and it was kinda scary cus the thing was 'looking' right at me, but then i just chuckled and smiled. remember to look those things eyes.
but apart from that it's not grotesque at all if anything it's interesting, in a scientific way, like you always see pictures of the human body but you never get to see how it really is. so that's what good about this.

are even the eyes real? or do they use false eyes? i know it is a pretty revolutionary preservation process, but it seems eyes would be very difficult to preserve in a natural looking state.

and they're so easy to replicate. I thought they were glass eyes to be honest. Maybe they were real, who knows.

Did some research on the eyes. All signs point to glass.
