I recently visited the Body Wolds exhibit here in Philadelphia.
I encourage you to see it if you are in the area.
It is really facinating.
There are entire bodies preserved by plastination, a process that =
replaces natural liquids with plastics to reveal the muscular, skeletal =
and vascular systems. In addition to the 25 or so whole human bodies, =
about 200 miscellaneous body parts are displayed - livers, a digestive =
tract, an infant skull, a spleen.

"Body Worlds" runs through April 23 at the Franklin Institute, 222 N. =
20th St. Tickets are up to $26.75, with discounts for seniors, students =
with identification, military personnel, and children 11 and under. =
Evening tickets, from 5 to 9 p.m., are $10.50 to $14.75 (the rest of the =
museum is not open at those times). Timed tickets and reservations are =
available. Information: 1-877-801-2639 and www.fi.edu.
Go in the evening as it is less expensive and all the kids from the =
school trips have left.:>)
