The Human Body exhibit has been seen around the world, and right now it is here in Lima. Although this has nothing to do with the culture of Peru, it is an amazing exhibit that should most definitely be seen. And who knows, seeing it in Lima might be the only chance you get!

The exhibit displays real bodies, complete and partial, that have been preserved using polymerization. This liquid silicone preserves the human tissue, leaving the body completely plasticized at a molecular level. You can see the complexity of the bones, nerves, organs, and blood vessels.

This is a cool way to really see how the body works. The exhibit is open to people of all ages, although it may not be suitable for squemish children, or adults for that matter.

It is open now until September 20th, daily at 10 am in the Gallery of the Centro Comercial Plaza Camacho, Av. Javier Prado Este 5193, La Molina. Tickets for entry are s/.60  Friday through Sunday for adults and s/.30 for kids. They can be purchased through Teleticket.

If you go from Monday to Thursday, tickets are only s/.48 for adults, s/.24 for kids and s/.30 for students.

Mondays to Wednesdays the exhibit is open until 8 pm and Thursdays through Sundays it is open until 9 pm.
