The Franklin Institute's giant model walk-through Heart, an icon in Philadelphia since its opening in 1954, recently underwent major renovations, upgrades, and enhancements. It reopened on October 1, 2004, as part of a new bioscience exhibit, The Giant Heart: A Healthy Interactive Experience.The new exhibit doubles in size to 5,000 square feet and surrounds the Heart as it pulses with interactive devices and information in four thematic areas:
Heart Anatomy and Physiology
Health and Wellness
Blood
Diagnostics and Treatment
A giant EKG (electrocardiogram) wave runs down the middle of the exhibit's room. Exhibit components include a full size recreation of a surgical theater, complete with actual open-heart surgery being performed via video effects, and a display of some of the latest technologies used in human heart treatment. A musical cartoon about blood transport and giant crawl-through arteries engages children.
