| - On the pricey side (my opinion), $34 pp, but if you're staying at the Luxor, you get a discount. We paid around $60 for 2 tickets. Honestly, I get a heebee jeebees around human cadavers, so if you're like me, make sure you eat prior to visiting. However, I did find the exhibit highly informative and very interesting. I also noticed that the human cadavers were of Chinese decent. A woman in one of the galleries explained that the lab was located in China and that was where they preserved the bodies.
There is also a room where you can view actual human embryos. Also, on display were a pair of conjoined twins. Which I found a bit disturbing. Who in their right mind would give consent to have their baby on display? Mind boggling...For the squeemish, there is a door to the next gallery, if you decide to skip this one.
Most of the specimens were men, I noticed only one or two female specimens. The gallery of the circulatory system was pretty cool and towards the end, on display was a specimen of a healthy lung and a smoker's lung. GROSS! So to all you smokers out there, your black lung is on display!
Overall, I thought it was pretty cool to gain some extra insight on the human anatomy. You get an up close look and you find out things about your body that you didn't know about. Right before you leave, there was a brain specimen that you're allowed to touch. Curiousity nearly killed the cat, because I almost fainted as soon as I picked up the specimen. It was waxy and straight out wierd. The woman said the reason why it felt waxy is because of the stuff they used to preserve the specimens.
Worth the $$$. Highly recommended.
