Cozy and Creepy

Is that weird that my favourite thing in my school is anatomy museum? No. It isn’t. Just look at it!



Doesn’t it look cozy? It does to me at least. It’s that big room (is it a room? a hall maybe?) that is situated right in the middle of the building. Museum has two floors and the walls and the ceiling are all glass, so it’s super light. It’s exhibits are all sorts of body part you’ve never though existed, cut up aborted babies, bones, skeletons, all kinds of medical instruments and everything everything! The creepiest things there (in my opinion) are two dead professors who wished for their bodies to be a part of the museum so they are just standing there, waving hands (literally, their hands are up, so it looks like they are saying “Heeeeyy, babe!” See why creepy?) (i took a picture of them, but don’t wanna post them. I mean they were professors! Not that it matters now… But … Okay?!) However, Here is my favorite exhibit:



This is a forensic facial reconstruction. Look how cool! Using skull as a basis anthropologists put layers and layers of clay on it recreating the soft tissues and here it is! Basically, it lets us to see what this skull looked like when it was a living breathing human.
I think it’s fascinating! We work with so many nameless bones and bodies. The thought of their life crosses my mind from time to time.
