Body blogging

Jen and I went up to Vancouver today to catch the BodyWorlds exhibition which closes in a few days. I know that there is another show in Seattle (Bodies) but that is done by med students at China's Dailin university whereas, the Body Worlds shows are done by anatomist Gunther von Hagens and the difference in quality is quite evident. BodyWorlds is art pure and simple; Bodies is just that, dead preserved bodies. Von Hagens did work at Dailin for a while but he is not there now and I would consider the Bodies show to be a rip-off and second rate. If you have the chance to see one of the BodyWorlds shows, make the effort to do so -- if you have any interest in anatomy or biology, it is worth your time. Gorgeous work.
