A few weeks ago, in late August, my friend Traci and I went to the Cincinnati Museum to see Bodies - The Exhibition. If you want to learn more about this exhibit, go to
http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/ I decided not to include any pictures of the exhibit itself out of respect for those who have
queasy stomachs. (I couldn't take any pictures of the exhibit anyway because it was prohibited.) But we did get to see real life bodies, organs, blood vessels, bones, and whole systems in bodily form. I came away with a renewed appreciation of God's miraculous design of our spirit's temporary "home," the human body.
The Cincinnati museum (formerly Cincinnati Union Terminal) is a cool building in itself. The rotunda has colorful
mosaics depicting the history of transportation and growth of Cincinnati. Go to
http://www.cincymuseum.org/ to see historical photos and better color photos.
