Body Worlds 2, Chicago, IL, January 17-April 29, 2007

Using a preservation process called plastination, BODY WORLDS 2 displays healthy and diseased organ specimens, which underscores the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and full-body plastinates are posed in athletic positions, which help one to understand how we respond to movement.
