Has anyone else seen this exibit?

Human bodies that were preserved with a polymer impregnation process. It was a pretty amazing display.

Yes, those are real bodies. I have seen the ones that show just the nerves, and just the muscles, there are a bunch of them, pretty creepy!
 
There were various displays. One was almost only the muscles. Like you had pulled all of the bones and it was still standing. One was a skeleton with all of the veins and arteries in place. Another it looked like the body was sliced in 1"￾ vertical sections and placed in plexiglass so you could see each side standing there. Another cut horizonatlly and on a table.

It wasn't cheap to see, but well worth the money. There are 3 sets of exhibits. 1 is in Oklahoma City (I think until May). Another starts in Mobile Friday and the third on in San Antonio later this month. I think the exhibit here goes to Wichita in May.
 
They have something similar to this in Vegas, and Leigh and I saw it this past year. Pretty neat stuff!
 
That exhibit went through San Diego and I took a pass on it. I'm sure it's fascinating, but might be a little too much information for this kid.

Amazing work, nonetheless.
 
It is amazing. Saw it in Arizona and San Diego. The time Lamb saw it in Arizona, he followed a man who was a heart surgeon and vascular specialist. Amazing info. Near the end of the tour lamb was way past overload though.
 
If you have any possible chance of seeing this show, go do it. It is worth any price.

When it was in Los Angeles, we would beg our friends to let us take them to see it. We succeeded on at least two occasions and were planning a third when we got tied up with other obligations.

Also, check out their other site: Body Worlds
