Town #7 Hartford (visit #2)

January 22, 2008
“Bodies Revealed" show at the XL (Civic) Center

Bodies Revealed was a very unusual presentation that somehow preserved intricate details of the internal parts of human bodies while eliminating things that got in the way. There were nine full figures with different parts showing, and a couple hundred organs, joints, and other anatomical parts preserved separately in glass cases. It was a full anatomy lesson in two hours, very educational and quite well done. We followed up with lunch at a Pratt Street deli, Rose Gourmet, sharing a roast beef panini and each getting a cup of clam chowder. (parking: $7, show: $42.50, with discount coupon; lunch: $15.)
