human body exhibit
Preserved specimen showcase
A human body exhibit is a public display featuring preserved human corpses, typically using plastination to replace bodily fluids with plastic polymers.
These exhibitions showcase dissected bodies and organs for educational purposes, revealing anatomical structures in poses or cross-sections.
We took the kids to the human body exhibit at the science museum.
Such exhibits have drawn controversy over the sourcing of cadavers and questions of consent.
