Has anybody visited the exhibition of Bodyworlds in Busan ?
Is it realy such a succes ?

Not in Busan but I went while it was in London - it was here for quite a long time. By all accounts it has been very successful and has made the eccentric German guy who thought of it and invented the 'plastination' process (Gunther von Hagen) a rich man. It's interesting but some of the exhibits are not for those with sensitive stomachs. The style of display of some exhibits is also not very tasteful, in my opinion. The exhibition has caused a lot of controversy wherever it has been shown. Before it came to London some people were trying to get it banned. If you look at it as a lesson in anatomy and the workings of the body it is good. If you treat it like an art form (it was held in an art gallery in London) your reaction may not be so good. I thought it was worth seeing and didn't regret going but that is of course a personal opinion.

Hi advantix,

I've never been to the Bodyworlds in Seoul and Busan.

I don't know it is succes the Bodyworlds in Busan.

But my office is located next door the National Science Museum in Seoul.

I'm sure they made big succes in Seoul 'cause the visitors were over 2million in Seoul.

Bodyworlds opens daily in BEXCO from March 11 to September 21 2003.

And it was vey successful results of at least 1.5 millions of visitors from Busan and its vicinities.

You can find the details at ttp://www.bodyworlds.co.kr
