Created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, BODY WORLDS 3 is the culmination of the German scientist and physician'’s 30-year career in anatomy. 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. But von Hagens says the Houston exhibit captures the evolution and refinement of his invention to its outer limits.

After looking at some pictures of the exhibit though, I know the queasy feeling I got meant I could never enter the medical profession!
