What To Do in Florida: “Bodies Revealed” in Sarasota

I’m squeamish. I know I am. It is what kept me from going into the medical field. I have the mind for it, but not the nerves. Nonetheless, I have always been fascinated by the exhibits that show preserved human bodies to demonstrate the inner workings of muscle groups and movement.
One popular exhibit is “Bodies … The Exhibition”, but I’ve never gone to see it when it has been close due to the fact that I’ve always been uncomfortable that the bodies used in that exhibit were unclaimed cadavers. It seems somehow sad and wrong.
“Bodies Revealed”, however, uses only the bodies of people who willingly donated their bodies to science. Somehow that seems more acceptable to my particular conscience.
Anyway, “Bodies Revealed” is coming to Sarasota’s G.WIZ hands-on science museum on Friday, December 21. It is a limited engagement with the length of the exhibit to be determined directly by the popularity of the exhibit itself.
G.WIZ, The Hands-On Science Museum is located at the Blivas Science & Technology Center in Sarasota, FL. You can call 941.309.GWIZ (4949) for more information. Check out their website at gwiz.org for hours of operation and ticket prices.
