Here is one of the write ups from the Dallas Observer. In this review of the exhibition you can see where the first thing mentioned is the Holiday Thanksgiving and how much we love to eat during this time. They are warning people about their eating habits and asking them to go down to the West End before having their meal to take a look at the human body.
Getting Under Your SkinBy Kaitlin Ingram
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and, man, am I ready this year. I've been dreaming about mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing for more than a month now. But despite being one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving is also dangerous--and not just relatives-getting-drunk-and-blurting-out-family-secrets dangerous. I'm talking about dangerous for your health, people. We all know obesity is an epidemic in America, and Thanksgiving is all about stuffing faces. But fret not, fellow food-lovers, because I've found a surefire way to keep you from going back for seconds (or thirds): Sometime before the big meal, go to West End Marketplace, 603 Munger Ave., and look at a bunch of real, dead human bodies. If that doesn't cure your appetite (as well as your burning curiosity about human anatomy), I don't know what will. The popular international show Bodies: The Exhibition will be on display through April 2010 and features real, polymer-preserved bodies posed in various positions, showing all of us non-doctors what really goes on underneath our skin. Weekday tickets are $22, weekend tickets are $24, and discounts are available for kids, seniors, groups and members of the military.
