The exhibition "Secrets of the body: the universe inside": knowledge or a nightmare?

The world-famous exhibition "Secrets of the body. The universe inside "for seven years of existence has earned the reputation of a very controversial exposition. The subject of the dispute was the issue of the mission, which should be exhibited.

History of exposition

The idea of such an exposure was developed by scientists for a long time, but for the first time the site with anatomical exhibits unfolded in 2007. A thousand-strong army of scientists from the center of education, the scientific center and the fund of anatomical technologies and sciences of Hong Kong worked on its creation.

Currently, a huge exposition includes four sites that exhibit exhibits simultaneously in cities of different countries. The exhibition "Secrets of the body", which was launched in 2014 in Moscow, was divided into 4 rooms and totaled more than 200 exhibits, including human bodies and individual organs. Familiarity with the inner universe of the body began with the brain and the circulatory system. Moving from the exhibit to the exhibit, visitors recognized the subtleties of the respiratory and genitourinary systems, could see the internal organs as a whole, and in a section.

Since the first public exhibition, the exhibition "Secrets of the body" has received more than 2 million visitors. Demonstration sites unfolded in many cities around the world, and the viewers' view everywhere was ambiguous.

The main goal is cognitive clarity

The organizers sound the main goal of the exposition as an educational one. It is no coincidence that guides at all sites selected physicians, ready to answer all questions from visitors. Some of them conduct excursions, and some are present as consultants.

The exposition is aimed at helping in the comprehension of the mystery of the human body. The exhibition, from the first to the last exhibit, allows you to make a "journey" through all the systems of the body, visually examine their complex relationship with each other, understand how a person moves, breathes and nourishes his body. Cognitive it will be for people of any age.

Ethical side of the exposition

For the disclosure of the main theme of the body's cognition, the audience is shown real human bodies, no matter how sinister this may sound. Even considering that the former "owners" of them, even in the years of health, agreed to use their bodies for educational exposure, the mentality of many minds can not fully accept this. This is the main factor of the conflicting attitude of viewers to exhibits.

It is not easy for many to realize that he sees the real body of a person, you might say, a corpse. At this point, the issues of consent and conservation go into the background. By the way, about conservation. To preserve the naturalness of the body and "give" it life, in the preparation of exhibits were used cutting-edge conservation technologies. All the liquid that was supposed to be in the living body was replaced with silicone, and the organs underwent polymer conservation. This method allowed all tissues and organs of human bodies, presented for viewing, to preserve a "living" appearance and striking naturalness.

Prepare for the "right" perception

I must say that for an unprepared audience, the exhibition "Secrets of the body" can have a strong negative impression. If you do not take into account the doctors, whose minds from the student's age are ready to perceive all the subtleties of the human body, then for an ordinary philistine, even the most inquisitive, anatomical theater - the spectacle is shocking. All the funny cases in the anatomy, which people remember with pleasure in white coats, the others cause a cautious smile. Everyone projects on himself. Could he survive?

To protect yourself from such thoughts, it is better to learn, at least in brief, what the "body mystery" exhibition is preparing for you. Photos, testimonials from visitors, maybe anatomy textbook - all this will help to tune in to the "right" perception.

Given the ethical side and respect for the body-exhibits, the organizers imposed a ban on amateur shooting inside the site. One can only imagine how many wishing to make "Selfie" and how blasphemous it would look. The professional exhibition is provided by the exhibition "secrets of the body". Photos like adults and children. For the original commemorative photo on the site, a special photo wall has been designed.

Cognition or a nightmare?

Faced with cardinally opposite reviews of visitors, the exhibition was recognized as one of the scandalous and controversial. But the medical world is not tired of challenging this opinion.

Modern exhibition halls today open the doors to other sensational world expositions, where creators do not hesitate to demonstrate anomalies and ugliness of human bodies, where real provocative stories connected with the work of the vital systems of the body are made up. Despite disputes about the moral side of this spectacle, the exhibition "Secrets of the body" is perceived by the world medical community as a visual cognitive aid for non-professionals.
