On the recommendation of sport scientist Jenni McNeal, we visited the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul for the BODY WORLDS exhibition.
We saw 200 authentic human specimens, including entire bodies, preserved through the process of Plastination, a technique that replaces bodily fluids and fat with plastic.
The purported goal of the exhibit is to “educate the public about the inner workings of the human bodyâ€. But it is ghoulish fascination which has been drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to this and 2 other touring shows.
