Today, we went to the see the highly lauded Body Worlds 2 exhibit. For those unfamiliar with this amazing exhibit here's the breakdown from their website:

The primary goal of BODY WORLDS and BODY WORLDS 2 is health education. On the one hand, 200 individual specimens are used to compare healthy and diseased organs, i.e., a healthy lung with that of a smoker, to emphasize the importance of a healthy life-style. On the other hand, 25 life-like posed whole-body plastinates illustrate where in our bodies these organs are positioned and what we are: naturally fragile in a mechanized world.

Basically they have 200 pieces in the exhbit consisting of real human bodyparts frozen in time with this neat plastination process. You can see full organs and bodys, at different levels of disection, all the way from the skin down to the bones, along with the fat tissue, muscles, veins and everything else in between. It really gives you respect for all the stuff tucked away under your flesh. I very highly recommend it.

Here's some pictures of the exhibit to whet your interests:
