One of the things I enjoyed most about our trip to San Diego was getting to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. I had wanted to see it when it was in Sacramento earlier this year, but didn't get the chance.
They had so many bodies on display, most with the skin removed, and posed in athletic positions (like swinging a bat, doing a back flip or whatever). It was absolutely amazing to look at the insides of the human body, to see the muscle structure, and the tendons being flexed. In one place they showed all the blood vessels in the head (without the skull or any other soft tissue). It was pretty cool.
My desire to work in the funeral business prompted me to study anatomy in some depth. This exhibit was a great compliment to that study.
