This is what photographic film looks like, when it passes through your digestive system.
Kingston University photography students Luke Evans and Josh Lake decided to turn themselves into human cameras by eating 35mm film squares and letting their bodies do the rest. The single film segments were first ingested, excreted (in a dark room) then washed.

How about a tea in the ribcage of a fully articulated 95-foot bowhead whale skeleton?
“In 1831 the skeleton of a 95-foot bowhead whale was displayed in a pavilion at Charing Cross, as part of a tour that had also touched Ostend and Paris. Visitors could ascend a flight of steps to a stage set within the ribcage, where they could sit at a table and write puns in the guest book. (“Why should we be mourned for if killed by the falling of the bones of the whale? We should be be-wailed.”)”

I Have Your Heart: Wonderful papercraft animation.
Admittedly, the connection to “anatomy” is tenuous at best, but wow – this is beautiful animation (and a very catchy song)
An animation by Crabapple, Boekbinder, & Batt. Visit http://www.ihaveyourheart.com for more details & download the song here: http://bit.ly/ROwMQ7. Via @boingboing
Also worth checking out in full screen and in HD.

This would be SO awesome: An amusement park ride masquerading as an anatomy lesson
An educational amusement apparatus forms a large building structure having an external appearance simulating a man and a woman resting partially under a blanket, wherein riders are taken through a succession of cavities that simulate internal organs of the man and woman. Entrance to a head chamber simulating an oral cavity is achieved by a stairway supported by a simulated arm of the man, the oral cavity having displays of teeth in normal and abnormal conditions, and serving as a staging area for a train to carry the riders. The train passes into a simulated cranial cavity of the woman, past a sectional display of simulated ear organs, and into a body portion of the building that is representative of the abdomen of both the man and the woman, first through a simulated esophagus, stomach, and intestine of an alimentary canal, through simulated urinary and reproductive tracts, then through a simulated liver and a simulated cardiovascular canal, and finally through a simulated lung and windpipe to an exit staging area of the building.
