Body Worlds 2 at HMNS

After a delicious meal of crab cakes and homemade cole slaw at Houston's on Kirby, the Houston Museum of Natural Science was our next stop of the night. Body Worlds 2 & The Brain ~ Our Three Pound Gem is closing this weekend at HMNS and I'd been wanting to see it since the premiere. It was well worth the trip downtown!


For those who have never been, it is indescribable.
For those that want to go, you only have a few hours left before the exhibit moves on.

Our human body is amazing. Our brain unfathomable at it's abilities and possibilities. The workings of our minds, emotional responses, addictions, actions and reactions all tied together in one tiny little three pound gem. The knowledge that most don't understand or recognize what conscious reality is or choose to live without thinking anyway gives insights into a world most take for granted.

The exhibit used huge hangings with quotes from poets to philosophers to physicians to the people who have been our world leaders. Those who know how much I love quotes understand when I say I could have kicked myself for not having pen and paper! lol

There is a Body Worlds 3 focusing on our hearts. I can't wait till Houston has it's premiere. Until then, the next exhibit, Genghis Khan, is opening at the end of this month at HMNS. Very interesting... I may just have to splurge on a membership.

As Facebook allows us to do now, the Houston Museum of Natural Science has my
"I Like" thumbs up!
