    Guido Reni District

    May 11, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    I had already seen the Real Bodies exhibit in Lisbon last year but it was so worth going again!

    The Guido Reni District is a great new location (from late 2016), right across from MAXXI, the museum. And, if you like kitties, there is a really nice protected feline colony right across :)

    As for the exhibit itself, it is a rare chance to see human bodies up close. It is definitely not for every stomach, but it has great educational value. As for the one in Lisbon, I have found the foetal room to be the hardest to watch, and the nervous system area to be incredibly fascinating. It took us about 90 minutes to go through it, so put some time aside.

    There#s an Alice in Wonderland themed small cafe# with a garden, outside the exhibit.

    We were planning to visit the square in front of MAXXI afterwards, but it was closed due to some kind of event.
