| Throughout the ages, medical scholars have endeavored to understand how our bodies function through exploration of real human specimens. Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS exhibits, experienced internationally by 25 million people, take this tradition one step further by presenting a new look at the human body. The only anatomical exhibit featuring bodies willed by donors during their lifetime, BODY WORLDS 1 presents more than 200 specimens that have been submitted to Plastination, the revolutionary polymer preservation method invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens. The wide range of specimens allow visitors to learn about the inner workings of the human body and show the effects of poor health, good health, and lifestyle choices. |
