Body Worlds

No, this is not a "Muscle Man' contest! "Body Worlds 2 & The Brain" is an exhibit at the Houston Natural Science Museum that is awesome. It consists of real cadavers and body parts preserved using a technique call "plastination." There are complete human bodies displayed kicking a soccer ball; ballet dancing; holding a baseball bat; ice skating etc. - so you can see all the muscles, bones and organs involved in the movement. There are also individual organs - healthy and diseased. It is unbelievable - until you see them - how detailed the dissections are. They even have a pregnant woman with the fetus in her womb! Sounds kinda' gruesome but it is truly fascinating. If you are in Houston, it is a MUST see!
