I saw Body Worlds, but it is probably different.

Basically.

It was pretty cool, i have to say.
I thought it would be disgusting, but I didnt get squeamish at all.

My favorite part was the circulatory system, because they had just the veins, arteries, and capillaries preserved (they put some kind of chemical in the blood vessels that solidified, and then they dissolved the organic tissues, leaving the shapes of the vessels without any organs). It was very cool.

I wish I could have taken pictures, but we werent allowed to. =(

I bought the t-shirt of the rabbit they did that to. I liked the lamb one more, but there wasn't a shirt for it :\
