Dear Subgenius Weird French Museum Expert

I'll be going to Paris in a couple of weeks. Years ago, I had read or
perfunctorily heard about some dude over there that had, in a past
century, perfected a system of preserving & displaying animal and/or
human bodies with their skin removed, so that musculature and/or inner
organs were readily discernable, "in situ", in a museum setting, still
on display somewheres today. Does anyone hither know the name of this
place, so I can check it out whilst I'm there? I'll take pictures, &
post them to alt.binaries.slack, honest.

By the expressway A4: That you arrived from Paris (Carries Bercy) or east,
take the gone out Carries Charenton. Pass on the bridge that spans the
Marls and the expressway. You will arrive to a big intersection. While
crossing all right, you will meet again in the avenue of the General of
Gaulle. The school, that is located on your left, possesses two entry
points on this artery (7 and 7 ter).

WAY COOL, THANX A LOT!!
Want me to bring you back an eyeball or something??

Your welcome. The technique is called "plastination", where they fill your
arteries with red stuff, and veins with blue.
A twist on Zappa's "Plastic People".

Another eyeball would nicely compliment my third nostril.

May I also suggest:

Not as creepy, but a lot of beautiful fairground stuff.

Looks swell. Too bad I can't read French. Now I know what an
illiterate feels like! Not ever having been there before, I like to
imagine Paris as being like the city depicted in the movie "City of
Lost Children". Ever see it? Very atmospheric. As a Subgenius tourist
I'll eschew the Eiffel Tower for the Sewer Tour, the Louvre for
appreciating the art in piles of dead peoples bones in the Catacombs,
plus the 2 great places I've been tipped off to now. Thanx, y'all!

If you haven't heard, they moved it some time ago to an undisclosed
location, due to too many pilgrims, garbage, & just such tributes as
you suggest.
