Body Worlds: Made For and From Real People

Body Worlds is an anatomical art exhibition of real human bodies. It was created by Gunther von Hagen, using his invention of Plastination. It's a process that makes it possible to preserve tissues and organs of the body, by stopping it from decomposing. All of the people in these exhibits were once alive, and chose to donate their bodies to science. Or in this case - to ART.

The bodies are positioned in real life activities like riding a horse, sitting at a desk and playing basketball. It allows you to see the different anatomical features.

The exhibit's aim is not to be a big gross out, but to educate the public about the human body and its functions. It sounds a little bit creepy, but I am totally intrigued.
