Erin and I spent theis morning at Bodyworlds 3, now showing at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. In a word: INCREDIBLE!

Bodyworlds is an anatomical exhibition featuring actual human bodies that have gone through the process of Plastination, where fuids and saturated fats are removed and replaced with specialized polymers, preserving the form and colors of living tissue.

I knew that this would be a fascinating exhibit, giving the opportunity to see things one normally wouldn't. What I didn't quite expect was the beauty and artistry of the presentation. The full body figures were shown in exquisite, graceful, and powerful poses. Exploded views, displaying internal organs and mechanics, were worked into these poses in brilliantly imaginative and poetic manner. It was the wonder of the human body on full display.

Pretty amazing.
