My daughter and I went to the Body Worlds exhibit today. Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exhibition of preserved human bodies and body parts that are prepared using a technique called plastination to reveal inner anatomical structures. The exhibition's developer and promoter is German anatomist Gunther von Hagens, who invented the plastination technique in the late 1970s at the University of Heidelberg. This is Lady X. I thought i would be grossed out but it was actually really cool!! I hope these pictures do it justice!
It's been years since I saw the Body Worlds exhibit but I thought they were human and this one looks almost surreal in its human display . . . how enormously imaginative as well as technically amazing.
@jyokota I agree! This does not look human at first glance but as you look you can see how they peeled away various layers to show the intricacy of the human body and its anatomy! It was fascinating! Lady X is by far the least human looking!
