Bodies, Bodies Everywhere

The Broad Street Review has a new piece about Bodies… The Exhibition, and if you’re wondering if the author has confused Body Worlds with the knock-off, you’re in luck: It appears he has.

You’ll also no doubt note there is a reference to the Nazis in the second paragraph. This is a journal of arts and culture, after all! “It did not reassure me that the show’s promoter is a German. Displaying corpses in amusing poses, with witty props and paraphernalia, put me in mind of Nazi lampshades made out of human skin.” Yeah, way to not hold that exhibition, Franklin Institute. (If you’re wondering, Body Worlds was run by a German; Bodies… The Exhibition was run by Premier Exhibitions, Inc., an Atlanta-based company.
