The ''Bodies'' exhibit is in Salt Lake City... yay! I have been wanting to see this exhibit since I first heard of it from a co-worker who saw it in Vegas.
This is a first-of-its-kind exhibit where visitors learn about anatomy, physiology and health by viewing real human bodies. The bodies are preserved through plastination, which is a ground-breaking method for specimen preservation... basically human taxidermy???
The striking whole-body plastinates in Body Worlds—people who in their lifetime donated their bodies for Plastination for the express purpose of educating future generations about health—allow viewers to see inside the staggeringly complex and completely interconnected network of muscles, tendons and blood vessels that make up our bodies. To date, more than 8,500 people have agreed to donate their bodies to BODY WORLDS for Plastination and use in the exhibits.
It is a fascinating exhibit and well worth the money and crowds... I highly recommend seeing it!!!
