The Myth of the Human Bodies: The Exhibition in Manila!






(Post was published on Oct 26, 2010)

For those who want to understand more about the human body and its functions, this exhibition should be on your schedule already. The Myth of the Human Bodies: The Exhibition has been here since October 15, 2010 and it will end on Dec 4, 2011 (Extended)! This exhibition will surely satisfy your innate curiosity about the human body. They have preserved the human body through an impressive process called Plastination.You can learn more about this when you go there.

I've been to the one in Las Vegas called The Bodies Exhibition, which is similar to this exhibition. Surprisingly enough, I enjoyed this more than the one in Las Vegas. Perhaps it was because of its location and unique presentation. The Neobabylon building seems to be the perfect place for an exhibition this grand. The interior of the building certainly added some charm and mystery. The building is actually bigger than it seems.

As soon you enter the buliding, you would notice that each section (system) is named after Greek gods and goddesses (i.e Eros for the Circulatory system and Dionysus for Digestive system). You can request for a guide if you want everything to be explained more extensively.

The Red Man specimen happens to be my favorite. You'll basically see the arteries of the human body from head to foot. When I go back, I'll see if I can take pictures of a few specimens. You need permission to do that, ok. Photo-op is allowed at the entrance and exit of the exhibit.

Below is picture of what you can expect to see there. (Taken in Las Vegas)


Ticket Price: P350. Exhibition runs from 1030 AM until 830 PM, Neobabylon building, 9 Bayani Road, AFPOVAI, Taguig City. It's the building with the Roman statues. You won't miss it!

i saw it on tv, my friend also told me about this , she said it's a must see specially for students. surely i'll bring my daughter she wants to be a doctor, maybe it will be a great help. are they open on saturdays, please reply thanks!!!

Hay said...

^^Neobabylon Building is along Bayani Road. It's also near Libingan ng mga Bayani. If you're coming from McKinley Hill and Philippine Army HQ, go straight then turn left when you reach Army Gym. That left is the Bayani Rd. You won't miss that building, it has huge statues outside. It would be at your right.

Can I still score free tickets? :D

Good day Mr. Amadeus Baraan!

Are you still giving away tickets of that museum? I really want to have one. I've been obsessed to visit that human anatomy museum since i saw it on the tv news. I'm an adventurer in nature but i can't still afford to travel as what you do. haha!

I hope you can give me one ticket. that would mean a lot to me.

pls. e-mail me here on my google account ursweetham@gmail.com or in my yahoo account for your response.

are they open on holidays?

hopeeverlilac said...

Thank you for the Information, it helps a lot, it's just week ago when I heard it from the news in Tv, but unfortunately I'm cooking that's why I didn't get the exact location, I'm a nursing graduate, and I think museum is helpful for me, I'm excited to go there and see for real what I only found in the book. A while ago, I was pissed off, because I can't find the exact info about this, and now I'm happy. Thank you very much once again...Going this museum would be my Christmas present for myself and my family. God bless...

deobaraanmd said...

you're welcome! Enjoy the exhibition. :P

i i'm a photographer and would want to get infos on where i can get a permit to take photographs there.... please reply @ jaypee0217@gmail.com - juniper

Ac3 said...

hi, was looking around for infos about the human body exhibit on the net and i landed on your page, really wanted to go there but when i saw that DSLR's were not allowed or even pictures, it was a bit depressing. Do you have any idea on how to get a permit to take photographs? I'm a photographer from Pasig and would want to suggest this as a photo trip for my photographers Organization. Thanks!!

BTW, Nice page!! Cheers!!

deobaraanmd said...

hello! if you're a professional photographer/journalist/part of media, you can probably take pictures inside. otherwise, you have to ask the director at the exhibit for permission to do so.

cm said...

I am from Bacolod City and since it is summer, I am planning to go there. But will the exhibit really end on April 17? Do you have any idea where the exhibit will be placed next? I am a Med student and I know this will be really helpful to me. Thank you for the info! :)

deobaraanmd said...

i can ask where they will be headed after this. so far, it's only until april 17.

Anonymous said...
