Gary_Yngve Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 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 http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/pages/home.asp 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) Quote
