This weekend, I made a visit to the bodies exhibition in Earls Court (London). It was a display of the human body in various ‘views’; separate displays of vascular, skin, muscle, bone structure, and mummified aspects. I’ve been looking at dead bodies! Quite impressive though.

There’s a cool film (with a second part) to give an impression, although you’ll have to ignore the American style exaggerative comments

The unethical side of the exhibition makes you think though: Chinese convicts lacking family officially had no one that could be interested in their funeral, so the bodies were given away for research (and obviously more commercial purposes). Oops
