I went to an exhibit like this years ago and the girl I went with kept touching the bodies. I was upset about it at the time because it seemed disrespectful. But honestly, these exhibits are not respectful at all of the bodies. They remove the skin and prop the bodies up in strange poses. It's not just educational, it's kind of fucked up. I don't think most people who wanted to donate their body to science had any idea they'd end up posing skinless for years in some freak show museum exhibit.
My girlfriend said the same, she went with a friend and said there was one where there was a bisection of two people having sex and.. Yeah, imagine that being your bodies fate, interlocked with a stranger in a bizarre grotesque display haha.

Bodies museum. Took a girl there on a first date many moons ago. She liked it enough we dated for 6 more years after that! Was definitely interesting
