went to see Body Worlds and the Story of the Heart at the Buffalo Science Museum last night with the parents. it is the original exhibiton of plastinated bodies, like the Bodies exhibit adr and i tried to see at Tropicana last summer. bunches of bodies and body parts dissected and on display so you can see all the different parts including organs, circulatory system, nerve system etc. everything. it was pretty cool, but even though i knew the displays were real people, they still looked fake and plastic. an autopsy it is not, nor is it things in jars like the Mutter Museum (except the embryos). it sorta bothered me that they put eyebrows, lips, nipples and belly buttons back onto the bodies that the skin was removed from. sorta weird and unnecessary. but it was interesting and worth seeing for sure. i recommend it to anyone in the area, or to friends in toronto (the exhibit opens there in october i believe).
