As the weather is getting colder and one can no longer ogle scantily-clad bodies on exhibition at the beach, why not enjoy them right here in Lower Manhattan? That’s right - for just $24.50, you can see clothesless bodies at the South Street Seaport. There’s just one catch: many of these bodies are also skinless. BODIES…The Exhibition is the controversial exhibit of 22 human cadavers and 260 other specimens ( i.e. fetuses, body parts, and organs) currently located on the main cobblestone street at the South Street Seaport. Housed in the new Exhibition Centre, this 32,000 square foot human anatomical showcase is drawing countless tourists and residents each day since its opening on November 19, 2005.
