This is a ‘Bodies’ exhibition that has been held in Buenos Aires August 15, 2007. The exhibition, which shows the detailed structure and function of the human body, showcases 22 whole body specimens and more than 260 organs and partial body parts.
This exhibition will provide the public with an opportunity to see inside carefully preserved anatomical specimens and learn the detailed structure and function of the human body. In this process, human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber that is treated and hardened.
The end result is a rubberized specimen, preserved to the cellular level, showcasing the complexity of the body’s many bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and organs. The full-body specimens can take more than a year to prepare. After undergoing the polymer preservation process, they become impervious to decomposition.
