I am a nursing school student that has been to see the exhibit twice already and may go again before it leaves Philadelphia. It has brought the human body alive to me. Where else can you see the inner workings of our bodies up close? They are magnificent machines! If you are a student in any health services area, you will want to see this. You will see diseased organs and just how the human body functions and what happens when it doesn't function properly. What a treat! Collapse
