hey everyone!
just thought i'd pass this info along.. i went went to this exhibition when it was on Brick Lane in London in 2002...it was extremely shocking but it opened my eyes to what's really underneath our skin...I thought certain parts of the exhibition are kinda eerie (skinned + preserved horse as well as fetuses in jars ) but all in all I thought the museum was quite amazing and definitely want to see it again.

DO NOT click this link if you can barely stand watching Discovery Channel surgeries..this'll make you pass out!

General Info regarding Body Worlds:
BODY WORLDS and BODY WORLDS 2, have attracted 17 million visitors around the world. The exhibits explore topics such as health, anatomy and physiology through the study of real human bodies that have been preserved through a revolutionary technique called plastination.

Both BODY WORLDS and BODY WORLDS 2 feature more than 200 authentic, preserved human body specimens, including individual organs, body slices and 25 esthetically-posed whole-body plastinates. A variety of specimens are used to show the difference between healthy and diseased organs, illustrating the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The plastinates are strategically displayed to allow visitors to examine the body's role in everyday activities.

Invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in 1977, the plastination process replaces the natural fluids in the body with reactive plastics that are initially fluid, but then harden after impregnation. Before hardening the plastic in the specimens, the plastinates are fixed into lifelike poses, illustrating how our bodies internally respond to everyday movements and activities. This unique process also provides the flexibility and strength needed to display and preserve the specimens in their true-to-life form, without the use of glass barriers and formaldehyde.
