If you are curious to scrutinize at close quarters what's inside the human body, then here's the perfect opportunity for you. Body Worlds, a traveling museum, gives visitors an unprecedented look inside the human body courtesy of a cadre of odorless, skinless corpses. The corpses were not dug from graves or stolen from mortuaries. They were donated by registered body donors. Since the first show was held in 1995 by the science museum, more than 32 million visitors worldwide have seen it.

About 12,000 visitors were apparently so impressed by what they saw they have signed donor consent forms to donate their bodies to the German medical institute that develops the museum exhibits. It's learned that 62 of them are from Illinois and 10 are from Chicago.

Titled "Body Worlds & The Cycle of Life", the show opens Friday at the Museum of Science and Industry, the first American museum to display the show. Ticket pre-sales have been brisk, and the last two exhibits were among the science museum's most popular attractions, bringing in 1.3 million visitors.

A Houston science museum is celebrating Texas' 175th anniversary of independence from Mexico with an exhibit that gives visitors a glimpse of the region from the beginning of the Spanish exploration through the 20th century. This exhibit opened on the 6th of March, Sunday, on the 175th anniversary of the termination of the Battle of the Alamo, at the Museum of Natural Science. The exhibition will run through early September at the science museum.
Apart from a miniature portrait of Sam Houston on ivory and currency dating from Spanish governance to the last days of the Republic of Texas, the exhibit at the natural science museum showcases above 100 items from the collection of oilman J.P. Bryan, the exhibits guest curator. The Houston Chronicle reports that firearms from Bryan's collection will also be on show at the natural science museum.
