Checked out the National History Museum this week.
Von Hagen has an animal exhibition on.
Takes 'em apart, preserves them and gives you a look inside. It's all the actual animal. ek.
I managed to take a few sneaky snaps..
A camel .. sectioned into 3. |
This is the biggest elephant I've ever seen! It's brain and nervous system are on the floor. You can't comprehend the size of it 'til you see it in person. |
None of the animals in the exhibition were killed for the purposes of plastination..
I did wonder as some look like they were in pretty good shape.
Facinating exhibition, the man must have a stomach of steel!
One day we may be able to see if that's so! He's dying from Parkinson's disease thus donating his body to science once he passes.
His wife has been tasked with the job of plastinating his body and sharing the preserved corpse on display as part of his Body Worlds exhibitions.
Logic to some, complete crazy to others!
I think we're all bonkers.
