Body World

If you have even the smallest amount of interest in the human body and how it works, I would strongly urge you to try and see Gunther von Hagens' Body World exhibit. It is in both Los Angeles and Chicago currently, and is absolutely amazing. A mite creepy at first, but absolutely amazing for what it shows us. Basically Mr. von Hagens has plasticized real human bodies (people who donated their bodies to his science) and given us a real understanding of what the human body looks like, intact. No longer are we staring at plastic skeletons in 9th grade biology, but we can see how the pieces actually fit together.

For those in the Los Angeles area, check out the California Science Center exhibit before it leaves!
