This post reminded me of the Body Exhibit that has been touring North
America (perhaps Europe as well) - one exhibit is for profit and one is
non-profit. I think it's touring the art museums more than the science
museums although it was at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto. Has anyone
seen it? It's quite bizarre and in some places a bit gross. I can't decide
if I liked it or not although I did learn quite a few things.

Adventure Science Center in Nashville opened BodyQuest last summer.
BodyQuest is a permanent health exhibit that has been very well received
by the public and schools.  We began by consulting teams of expert
advisors who helped us determine the content and our staff stayed highly
involved throughout the exhibit design and fabrication process.  Areas
are based on body systems and are very interactive.

You can see a summary of the areas and some photos here.  Please let me
know if you need more information.
