Ever since the exhibition “Body Worlds” opened for the first time in 1995, showcasing preserved human bodies dissected to display bodily systems, many spin-off exhibitions toured the world displaying human bodies without the outer layer of skin in various poses and activities.View more photo galleries — Follow NP Photos on Twitter

Now the exhibition extends to species outside homo sapiens. Natural History Museum in London, England, opens the “Animal Inside Out” display on April 6, 2012. The exhibition features approximately 100 plastinate and capillary specimens displaying the anatomical structure of many spectacular creatures. The animals were preserved using the technique of plastination by the same team behind Gunther von Hagens’ “Body Worlds” exhibition. The showing runs until September 16, 2012.
