I saw this exhibit in Las Vegas a few years ago. It's hard to describe the different feelings you get while looking through it. You can easily spend a couple of hours going through it, especially if you stop to read the different information on what each body is displaying. Alot of the bodies are displayed in various active poses. The bodies are all donated by the people themselves with the understanding that the bodies are all anonomous.They use a ploymer preservation process developed in the 1970's. The most interesting thing I found was the blood vessels and the nerve's and such, and I admit the deformaties too. The grossest thing was definately seeing a person's entire skin by itself laying on a table...really discusting and amazing how much skin we have and how thick! I really had the urges to touch them, which is prohibited, but funny enough at the end they have a heart you can touch if you want and I was too grossed out.
By the way Bodies the Exhibition is held in cities all over the world!
