Subject: BS: Plastination: Exhibition of Human Body
I saw a documentary quite a while ago about Plastination and the Doctor who created the process, which uses real Human Bodies. His work in showing the anatomy of the Human Body was to me, at first, shocking but after a while it struck me as very beautiful really.

I heard tonight on the Radio that Dr. Gunther von Hagens is opening an exhibition at the Museum of Science in Boston called BODY WORLDS 2: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies.
So I went to the MoS site and was reminded of the shock I first felt when I realised what I was seeing and then came a sense of awe at just how wonderful our Bodies are.
Here's is a link to the MoS site featuring the Exhibition page: Clicky thingy

Has anyone been to one of Dr. von Hagens exhibitions and saw this fascinating process up close?
