Today I went to see Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum. This exhibit features about 200 real human specimens and more than 20 whole body specimens by using a process that he invented called Plastination. The exhibit is a fascinating look at human anatomy broken down system by system. At first it's pretty eerie thinking about how these were once living people but as you start reading about the various body functions the creepiness wears off. I highly recommend seeing this if you get a chance. Photography was not allowed so these photos are courtesy of BodyWorlds.com.
