Name of physician who first created plasticized corspes like those displayed in the Bodyworlds exhibit?
After seeing the advertisments for the Bodyworlds exhibits, I was reminded of a French (I believe) physician who first created these types of perserved bodies in the 1700s or 1800s.
There have been several segments concerning him on the Discovery channel and the History Channel over the years. But for the life of me, I cannot remember his name, nor can I find any information on him. Can anyone help me with this? His works are displayed in a museum in France, I believe, and include one in particular called something along the lines of the Horseman of the Apocalypse.
Not being able to remeber his name is driving me nuts. Help me out, please!
