BBB Destination - Body Worlds

On a recent visit to Portland Oregon, I was able to see Body Worlds3, an exhibition featuring "authentic human specimens preserved through a revolutionary process called Plastination. This remarkable preservation technique replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive plastics, thereby preserving human tissue in its natural state". Truly remarkable, interesting and a wonderful way to understand human anatomy. Often the bodies are positioned artistically, somewhat to add interest but mostly to allow different perspectives of the human form. I wouldn't recommend it for the squeamish or for young children but other attendees likely will find it fascinating. The three exhibitions are in Charlotte NC, Montreal Quebec and Portland.
