365 Theme 166: Larger Than Life


The giant heart, a Philadelphia icon since its opening in 1954. The exhibit lets the visitor play the role of a blood cell and travel through the heart. The woman and child on the left are exiting the heart. The entrance is on the other side of the heart.

I first experienced what it was like to be a red corpuscle on a middle school trip in the seventies. It's still cool.

Having had Quadruple bypass surgery, I think I would be grossed out by this.

Since I like medical stuff, this would be really interesting. Great shot of a great heart. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Another mark for Phillie on my list - this looks so cool!
