Body Worlds









Body Worlds is coming to Philadelphia's Franklin Institute today; I'm still undecided on whether or not I will be in attendence. Their website is quite interesting. If you have a few minutes; check it out. http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/pages/home.asp


At BODY WORLDS, you experience the power and vulnerability of the wondrous human body. Authentic specimens reveal the complexities and individuality of the body that simply can't be shown on conventional models. Perhaps most amazing are the exhibit'™s full-body plastinates - many displayed in dynamic poses. The wide range of specimens shows how the body works when it'€™s healthy and how it breaks down when it'€™s not. Compare healthy lungs with those of a smoker, a disease-free liver with one showing hepatocirrhosis. You will leave the experience with a new respect for your body - and perhaps new motivation to commit to healthier habits!
