From the folks who brought you Bodies: The Exhibition, comes a new grotesquely beautiful attraction called Animals Inside Out. It’s currently showing at the National History Museum of London with over 100 plasticized animal specimens.

What is plastination, you ask?

Plastination is a revolutionary method of preservation invented by Dr Gunther von Hagens in 1977. It involves extracting all water and fatty tissues from the specimen and replacing them with polymers in a vacuum. The plastination process stops the decay of dead bodies and prepares specimens for scientific and medical education. It is an odourless form of preservation and lasts a long time.

This gets a “yay” and “yuck” from me all at the same time.
