Bodies: The Exhibition hits Chile


 

 

For those of you who don’t know , Bodies: The Exhibition is an event created by german artist and scientist Gunther Von Hagens, where real human corpses preserved through the process of plastination are showcased to observe human anatomy at its core.
 
Yesterday I had the privilege of seeing this exhibition and even more, to see it with the lovely Paula, and without a doubt, this is a unique event.
