Two exhibitions
Almost missed one and am planning to see the other. I'll be catching both in a week or so. These are both in Vancouver, British Columbia, an hour to our north.
First up is Gunther Von Hagens who is an old-school anatomist and has developed a method of plasticizing human tissue. Other people are doing this as well but Von Hagens has very much an artists touch.
Bodyworlds3 runs from September 15th 2006 through January 14th 2007.
Here is a link to the exhibition:

The second show (the one I almost missed) is a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla. The symposium was last Friday but the exhibition is running through November 30th.
Here is a brief description from the website:
