What was the exhibition at the Tate in London with human bodies with the skin off?

Over the summer i saw an advert for a show at the Tate but never got to see it. It was made up of human bodies with the skin removed and pumped with a sort of phermaldahide so as to preserve it. I would love to know what this show was called so i could see it

The exhibition has finished now I think, much to my disappointment as I wanted to se it too, just checked and it was called BODIES the Exhibition. As far as I could see from the website it's in USA only now. Ooh I lied, Earl's Court apparently. See my second link (I was so sure it had finished)
Reply:Damian Hurst.
Reply:I think you might mean Gunther von Hagen's exhibition "Body Worlds: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies".
