Check out the Body Worlds 2 exhibit (now at the Houston Museum of Natural Science) for some incredible body part preservation!

This was about 1970 or so. It was really funky--white and swollen as well as a bit raggedy. Guess it finally got to the state where it had to be just the bones displayed. Much less eerie. It was said that Sickles used to visit his preserved leg every now and then. I saw Dan Sickles’ leg when it was still fleshed and floating in preserving fluid. This was about 1970 or so.
