Today, I was fortunate enough to be able to see Bodies: The Exhibition here at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The show is continuing on thru January 9th, so if you happen to be able to go... GO.

This is not a show for the faint of heart... as it shows several dozen bodies in various states of dismemberment and scientific preservation... in order to highlight different body systems, organs, and functions. As a former nurse, this was obviously not a factor for me... or for the people I went to see the show with. For me, it was glorious... and stupendous... and awesome... and definitely a work of art. Each figure was displayed with dignity and grace. Docents gave tons of information, as well as the Exhibit providing audio guides, and having knowledgeable staff on hand to answer questions.

So... here are some "Sneak Peaks" into the Exhibit... courtesy of some pics I found on the Internet...
