i went to see Gunther von Hagens' BodyWorlds this weekend. if you ever have a chance to see this exhibition, i recommend it highly. it's not skeery and it's not squeamy. something about the plastination process makes the exhibits very friendly and accesible and you will definitely come away with a deeper appreciation for the complexity of your body.



i love these cross-sections.
they remind me of shrinky dinks.

Aw, it would!

And that sounds very serene. I wanted to see more pictures at the website you provided,but I just couldn't seem to find any other than the few listed with the text. The skateboarder picture fascinated me; I'd loved to see that one in person just to see the twists and turns of the body. What other poses did they have?

they had a bunch ~ running, a gymnast on rings, the guy riding the horse, the reclining pregnant woman, a man playing chess ~ if you do a google image search for bodyworlds you can see more pictures and poses.
