I always think of that japanese proverb then " knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass" The exhibt is the very type of science Wordsworth pondered about long ago when he wrote "Sweet is the lore which Nature brings; Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:-- We murder to dissect."

The exhibt is the very type of science Wordsworth pondered about long ago when he wrote

“Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;
Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:–
We murder to dissect.”

Ever since she told me i was absolutely fascinated by the idea. After seeing these pictures i can't wait to go! The displays are just amazing! In Bio we would always be disecting something either a rat, a pig's foot etc. We cut, we examine we draw diagrams of OTHER animals, but never have i seen a truly naked human in my life! Our own species stripped and exposed to the very bone right infront of our eyes. I would do anything to be able to go and see this work of art!
