So has anyone heard of this exhibit? It is apparently real human bodies preserved and displayed to showcase all the different organs and systems. It is in my area and I can't decide if I want to go or not. It looks quite fascinating, but also a little disturbing.

| Oooh that looks really cool....but then I work in a pathology lab and have a slightly morbid fascination with body bits! I'd definitely go and have a look if the exhibition was in my area. |

| It's been in Buenos Aires some time ago. I didn't go because it was too expensive and I didn't know if I'd enjoy it. But I heard it's cool. |

ive not heard of bodies revealed before, however body worlds is probably the most popular and i believe the original plastination tour
http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html
what this guy does is amazing, ive not had a chance to go see it myself but ive had friends go and they say its truely a great experience. i would go to bodies revealed if i didnt have the option to see body worlds, dont pass up the chance.
