Bodyworlds 2

Every year, students are able to see art exhibits and go to museums for free because of an Arts in the City grant that gives professors enough money to pay for transportation and admissions to these shows. Last weekend, a bunch of my friends and I were able to go to the Museum of Science in Boston to see the BodyWorlds2 exhibit.

I have to say that it was definitely an interesting body of work (no pun intended). I think feelings ranged from extremely disgusted, to extremely interested. I found myself to be a mix of both- curiously grossed out!

It was impressive to see that so many people donated their bodies to the project and how the artist/scientist was able to sculpt the plasticised bodies while still showing its intricacies.
It was great to be able to see this widely publicized exhibit for free.

After we walked through the show, it was amazing that we even had appetites, but we were able to muster up enough hunger to enjoy some Dippin’ Dots!

I have defintely been able to enjoy the Arts in the City fund in the past. My freshman year, I was actually able to see “The Gates” in New York City. They acquired a coach bus and dropped us off and picked us up in Central Park. It is great how the school makes it easy for us to see these types of shows that I probably wouldn’t ever be able to see. Overall, I’d say that it was a day well spent and I look forward to the next opportunity!
