| INSIDE INFORMATION OR "TMI?" 19th century novelist Samuel Butler once called the human body "a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stew pan and the whole fixed upon stilts." Glamorous? Perhaps not, but fascinating remains the mot juste when describing "BODIES...The Exhibition" Opening in April at the former Newseum site at 1101 Wilson Blvd. in Rosslyn, this visceral voyage - replete with specially preserved cadavers - promises a close look under our skins.
