The Mechanics of Man exposition is free to visitors throughout the 17 days of the Games, and is scheduled to stay on until the end of May. The exposition consists of 240 anatomical drawings of the anatomy of arms, legs and everything in between which experts say were centuries ahead of their time. Post-Olympic visitors have a chance to view it unobstructed — the cauldron will remain as a permanent landmark after the Games as part of a park commemorating Jack Poole, former chair of the organizing committee who died in October. And finally, while currently closed to the public, the Olympic and Paralympic Village at Vancouver’s False Creek has caused some buzz during the Games for being tagged the greenest, most energy efficient and sustainable neighbourhood in the world. On Tuesday Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson announced the buildings in which the athletes are staying in Vancouver had received LEED Platinum certification — the highest of green standards in the world. The village — located on the edge of False Creek, not far from Granville Island — has been built as a functional community, including restaurants, a pub, a bakery and a new seawall for strolling and running.
