This museum highlights the history of artificial limbs
through poster images and 3-dimensional models. Some of the earliest ones were
actually pretty complex, but because of the materials they were constructed
from, they must have been quite heavy. Recent advances in available materials
have led to both lighter weight and more natural looking prostheses. Some
amputees use their prosthetics to display art.
The island on which the museum resides was used for a research project to find virtual world support for amputees learning to use their prostheses.
Here is where you will find the museum: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Health%20Adventures%20I/87/160/39
If you proceed counterclockwise, you will be moving forward through history.
