Gunther von Hagens' "Body Worlds" The Original Exhibition of Real Human Bodies is being presented in a couple of weeks here in Edmonton at the Science Center.
The kids and I have seen the ads and pictures on the sides of buses while driving to school and Nathan hasn't really commented while Claire says she's creeped out!
I think it's pretty amazing.
From individual organs to whole bodies, BODY WORLDS offers visitors a rare opportunity to see the complexity of human anatomy and physiology.
BODY WORLDS features authentic human specimens preserved through a revolutionary process called Plastination. This remarkable preservation technique replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive plastics, thereby preserving human tissue in its natural state. Visitors who embark on this amazing journey below the skin's surface will view an extensive collection including more than 200 authentic organs, systems and whole-body displays.
Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS exhibitions are the only anatomical exhibits that use donated bodies, willed by donors for the express purpose of serving BODY WORLDS mission to educate the public about health and anatomy. To date, more than 8,000 people have agreed to donate their bodies to BODY WORLDS for Plastination and use in the exhibits.

I can't wait and I think we're sooooo lucky to have this exhibit come to Edmonton.
