Hello weekend lovers,
My name is Katie - I'm a lastminute.com blog bandit and a lover of all things 'weekend'. I do my best to explore the quirky side of London, the UK and hey, let's not limit ourselves.. the WORLD. I'll try and pass a few 'hot happenings' on now and then.
First off, Becky and I braved the giant squid carcass at the National History museum a few weeks ago and barely managed to keep our dinner in. NOW, in a bid to push our 'I'm tougher than you" levels, we'll be heading to The 'Body Exhibition' at Earls Court. Forget giant calamari rings... this is the REAL deal. Human bits... and lots of 'em.
A collection of 22 life-sized, whole human bodies are on display in 'Bodies - The Exhibition', accompanied by 260 assorted organs and body parts. They are stripped of their skin and plastinated in various poses. Work it baby, love the camera...
The point of the exhibition is to teach people about the compexities of the human body. It's one for all ages - and in an age of obesity and other health problems, it may just make you look at your own inner workings in a different way. 'My body is a temple' and all that jazz...
I'm not sure if my stomach can handle the pressure but i'm definitely going to put it to the test. Lovely pictures to come... watch this space. You have been warned.
