This looks like a Body Worlds work by Gunther von Hagens. I had the opportunity to meet him once at a conference. I worked in a plastination lab and the other staff there all had stories about how he imported in cadavers that had really questionable origins. One example is a cadaver with peculiar tattoos on it that turned out to be common soldier tattoos in the Russian military, except that the cadaver's documentation had nothing to do with Russia or Europe at all. And one of the Body Worlds exhibit is a pregnant woman with fetus in the womb. von Hagens claims to have received permission from the woman to plastinate her and the womb in case of her death. Pic related. von Hagens also has a proprietary method of plastinating heart vessels that the lab I worked at had tried to replicate for years.
