Created by anatomist and licensed physician Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the BODY WORLDS exhibition is the world's first public anatomical presentation using Plastination, his groundbreaking method of specimen preservation. The display of approximately 200 authentic organs, organ configurations, and a broad collection of whole-body plastinates offers an unprecedented view of the human body. Visitors will be able to observe the body's functions, including locomotive, digestive, nervous and vascular systems, and compare healthy and diseased organs such as a healthy lung with that of a smoker's lung.

This exhibit is at the Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas Texas. Has anyone seen this or planning to? I plan on trying to go in a few weeks. I think this will be so cool. Also helpful since I am taking A & P.
