| Bodies Exhibition Premier Exhibitions, Inc., announced that BODIES ... The Exhibition will open February 2nd at Teatro Carlos III in Madrid, Spain. The Exhibition will feature real, whole and partial body specimens that have been meticulously dissected, giving visitors the opportunity to view the complexity of their own organs and systems like never before. The Exhibition takes visitors through galleries providing an up-close look inside the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory and other systems of the human body. Many of the whole body specimens are dissected in vivid athletic poses, allowing the visitor to relate to everyday activities. In addition, authentic human specimens illustrate the damage caused to organs by over-eating and lack of exercise. A healthy lung is featured next to a black lung ravaged by smoking in a vivid comparison more powerful than any textbook image. The human body specimens in the exhibition are preserved through a revolutionary technique called polymer preservation. In this process, human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber that is treated and hardened. The end result is a rubberized specimen, preserved to the cellular level, showcasing the complexity of the body's many bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and organs. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Exhibition News :: home page |
