Bloomington will soon be filled with brains. Jill Bolte Taylor’s ‘Brains Extravaganza’ kicks off this weekend, with a launch party at noon Saturday at Bloomington High School South. It will be the only time all 22 brains will be in one place.
The 5-feet-tall anatomically correct brains will be displayed around Bloomington and the IU campus to encourage a greater understanding of brain science.
Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist who suffered a massive stroke in 1996, has spent the last decade educating people about issues relating to brain injury and neurological disorders.
The giant brains were constructed in Bloomington, by artist Joe LaMantia and will be on display all summer.
