Exclusive Pictures from Body Worlds

Recently, the Rue Crew was invited to visit the Body Worlds exhibit that’s currently on here in Toronto, at the Ontario Science Centre. We’re big fans of Body Worlds and the way in which it marries the artistic and the scientific in order to help us learn about our bodies and, of course, explore our natural morbid curiosities about death and dying. They even allowed me to take exclusive shots (normally there is no photography permitted) in the exhibit, so we could show you what you’re in for.

You’ll see some of those pics below, but first I also want to point out that Centre is hosting a sketch night, which is amazing, not just if you’re an artist interested in, um, boning, up on your anatomy, but want reference material for any artwork or special effects involving the human body coming apart. Imagine how accurate the zombie disemboweling in your indie movie could be if you knew for sure how much sheep intestines to use or where to put the fake the lungs. Har har…

More details:

Inside the Body Worlds exhibition, you will have the opportunity to sketch the exhibit, along with live models. This is an evening of anatomy and art. As an added bonus, we will have instructors at each model station to share their expertise. Join colleagues from the world of art for the Ontario Science Centre’s
