Sure it was neat to see a plastinated guy riding a horse, but looking at different parts of the body and see them incredible detail and the effect of disease and damage was quite a learning experience.
related to some of the controversial and highly discuss topics on CP, there is a 7 month old pregnant woman there, complete with a 2nd trimester fetus there as well. Also, a display that shows a fetus from 4 days to 9 months as well.
A great time for me as a Bio nerd =)

Good call. I missed out on mentioning that. Smoker's lungs and obese person's heart were cool to see.
I liked seeing the 3 smallest bones in the ear. The anvil, hammer and stirrup (donno what the official names are). Always saw pictures in jr high science text books, but seeing them in real life was neat.
