Today some friends and I went to see "Bodies...The Exhibition" in downtown Seattle.

 

 

It was kind of surreal walking into a room full of preserved cadavers, but it was pretty well done.  They gave everyone kind of a cell phone/remote control looking thing......Most of the displays had numbers on them, and you could punch the numbers into the remote and then put it to your ear to hear a short explanation of what you were looking at. 

 

It was laid out in different rooms with different themes like skeleton, muscles, circulatory, nervous system, etc.  They were preserved by replacing all the fluids with a liquid silicone rubber for the most part......some of the circulatory system displays looked like they were in lucite boxes and suspended in some kind of clear solution.  They used bright red and blue dye to differentiate the arteries and veins.
