We saw Bodyworlds3 - The Story of the Heart - this past weekend in Los Angeles. Quite amazing what Guenther von Hagens has accomplished with his method of Plastination of the human body. One heart even had the old ball and cage type aortic valve in place..

Here's a link to a short synopsis.. http://theleonardo.org/bodyworlds/index.php The only artificial part is the eye.

I saw a similar exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia a year or two ago. It is interesting...but I sometimes felt like it was too much information
