Why is it that....

...the exposure of our external organ, the skin, is considered indecent, yet our internal organs are on display in museums as objects of scientific fascination?

Our favourite part was the dissected organs and body parts.

A real heart, liver, pancreas and lung are among the bits you can see in their proper position in the body; the specimens have gone through a process of plastination to preserve them, so they look a bit withered and, well, dead - but they provide a fascinating insight into what's inside us.

Get Naked: It's Good for Your Brain

h+ magazine online comes to the obvious conclusion that nudity is good for human beings.

Clothing is crushing us! Trapped in tomb-like textiles, we exile our flesh from experiencing the environment. We atrophy the majority of our epidermis. If you put a plaster cast on a broken arm, the skin starves for Vitamin D; muscles weaken due to strangled range of motion; nerve synapses depress to a whimper of their former joy. Twenty-first century hominids shroud the entire skin palette, obliterating symbiosis with the planet except via face, neck and hands. (Burqa-clad Muslim women lose nearly 100%.) We hide in cocoons, when we could be free as butterflies.
