The Tech Museum


The BODY WORLDS exhibitions at The Tech Museum in San Jose, CA are first-of-their-kind exhibitions through which visitors learn about anatomy, physiology, and health by viewing real human bodies, using an extraordinary process called Plastination a groundbreaking method for specimen preservation invented by Dr. von Hagens in 1977. I wasn't allowed to take pictures of these amazing exhibits. If your interested in what we viewed, go to

This Gallery highlighted basic principles of fundamental science and the building blocks for technology. Each exhibit was video guided and many of them were hands on.

Entering the tech portion of the museum.


This was so cool. It is a virtual arm wrestling machine. You were able to link with people around the museum and arm wrestle other individuals. A seventh grade teacher beat one of his students. Prior to arm wrestling the student said "I'll be easy on you old man." After the teacher won he said "Who's the old man now!"
Oh, and yes Hailey beat the boy (age 13) she arm wrestled:)


It appears this may be a tight squeeze.
