Body Worlds 2



Body Worlds, an anatomical exhibition with over 200 plastinated real human bodies is awesome to behold if you're at all interested about the inside workings and machinations of our bodies. It is wonderful and until recently rare to be able to see the muscles and organs 3-dimensionally and frozen in various actions that illuminate us internally. Also, to be able to view organs and whole bodies that are in varying states of health and disease. Both health care professionals and lay persons alike seemed to equally enjoy this unique and fascinating glimpse under our skin. Currently, Body Worlds 2 exhibit is at the Denver Museum of Natural History & Science until July. I recommend buying tickets in advance because the showing times fill quickly. The museum website is www.dmns.org and/or visit www.bodyworlds.com.
