Bridging the Gap between the Deaf and Hearing Communities

Tampa's Museum of Science & Industry
Invites Lily to Visit the Bodies Exhibit

A Miracle Exposed

by Tom Cooney

This exhibit takes one beneath the skin and features specially preserved human bodies, meant to help us all understand how the different anatomical systems work in cohesion.

It was like peering inside the space shuttle, thousands of wires that make us work, all in living color. Grey's Anatomy, a book I once looked at in my youth to gain insight to the human makeup was now in 3 dimension before my eyes, thanks to those daring individuals whom donated their selves to make this exhibit possible.

The wonders of our body is truly magnificent, a miracle exposed. Thank you MOSI, and Tanya, for making it possible for Lily the Love Frog, Inc the opportunity to share this exhibit with others.

Bodies at MOSI in Tampa ... It's Interessgross

by James

James is a graduate of Pinellas Park High School. His interests include attending Bible Study at Calvary Baptist Church and being involved in activities which unite the Deaf and Hearing Community.

If you have never been to MOSI to see the bodies, I suggest you go, because it is very intersesting! " Bodies is an exhibit that you see what is inside of yourself, and it's kinda Interessgross and I learned things there that I never knew before.

First of all, let me tell you all the bodies are REAL, Yes! Real HUMAN Bodies - real systems, real stuff - they aren't fake they are Real! Second, it was INTRESSGROSS this is a new term that I made up that I would use to describe BODIES because it was Interesting and Gross, while it was interesting to see what is inside our bodies it was gross to see it too!!!

The interesting parts are also the interesting facts - like a person has 2000-5000 taste buds and women have more buds then men. The gross part is seeing all the organs and diseases, there were lungs that had the effects of smoking and cancer. In another display they showed breast cancer, literally growing out of a womans right side. Then there was a comparision of healthy livers and lungs to diseased ones. There also was a room with fetus from 10 weeks to 22 weeks old and even an embryo!

If you didn't see Bodies at MOSI in Tampa Florida, I urgently suggest you go before it closes up in September. It is really an amazing, once in a life time opportunity and it might not be back here again.
