If you find yourself in Los Angeles before February, be sure to stop by the Science Museum (on USC campus) and check out the BodyWorlds exhibit

I spent half the day there as was totally amazed at the quality of the plastination and the choice of dissections to reveal various anatomical features. Highlights included:

 

a very muscular basketball player

 

an 8-month pregnant woman

 

plastinations of just vascular structures (they inject the plastic stuff into the vessels, and once it hardens, they apply various processes to corrode/remove the surrounding tissues, leaving just the plastic molded to the blood vessels)
