Body Worlds Museum Berlin


This afternoon we visited the Menschen museum at Alexanderplatz in Berlin. I was blown away by this, the kids learned so much! You can't plan for this kind of learning. There was so much going on, they were so excited about what they were learning. Pulling me from this exhibit to that, telling me what they had learned about... all of it was different, personal to them and at their own range of understanding. The important thing was they both showed a huge interest in this museum and we all find human anatomy fascinating! Even the simplest knowledge of knowing the names of the organs of the body and what they do... Seeing nerves, tendons, muscles and understanding their function and their relations to each other... it's just wonderful! I couldn't have taught them this much with loads of textbooks at home. Getting into it like this is the thing! Seeing it in action! 







My personal favourite The digestive system!


All the internal organs as they are packed, naturally. 


This is just art... 


How obesity changes your physiology... and reduces your quality of life then kills you! 


The urinary system of men and women!



I kid you not... a cross section of a dude on a bike! 


The circulatory system! Oh wow! 



More art... 


Lungs of a smoker compared to a healthy person. Good image, this! Also the cup in the middle is full of tar and that is the amount of tar a smoker on average collects in their lungs every year. As a ex-smoker, this makes me feel so grateful to my former self for quitting when I did! 


The nervous system!


Something beautiful! 


Larks outside... 


We ended today with a green smoothie and a healthy burrito at 'The good seed'.
