PITTSBURGH -- As interesting as the Bodies Exhibition at the Carnegie Science Center might be, what is perhaps more interesting is the reaction people have to it.

"It's so awesome to see how everything works," said one exhibit visitor.

"Really brings our classroom theory to life," said another.

"In 24 years in this business, I have never had an experience with an exhibit where we have seen visitors impacted to the extent this exhibit has," said Ron Baillie of the Science Center.

Baillie said, for some, it's life-changing and nowhere is that more evident than in the respiratory area.

In the respiratory section of the exhibit, there is a display of healthy lung and smoke-damaged lung.

Next to both lungs, there is a bin full of cigarettes thrown away by people who see the exhibit.

The last part of the Bodies exhibit is a reflection area where people can post their thoughts and feelings.

Attendance at the exhibition has far eclipsed expectations, and the Science Center expects it to improve in the near future when they add medical professionals on hand to explain what you're seeing.
