A new exhibit at the The Houston Museum of Natural Science is opening this weekend, Feb. 25th. Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 3: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies includes never-before-seen whole-body plastinates.

Like its predecessors, BODY WORLDS 3 presents more than 200 authentic specimens, including organs and whole body specimens, that have undergone Plastination—von Hagens’ groundbreaking method of halting decomposition and preserving the body after death for medical study, which he invented in 1977.

I can’t wait to take my family to see this amazing exhibit. Real dead bodies! I’ll report back as soon as I see the show.

    I saw this in Chicago, and it was sooo cool, except for that fact that it was too crowded. I would love to see it again, and will probably do it while I’m on maternity leave so I can go in the middle of the week. Let me know how you like it.
