Parents and Educators

Investigate the mystery of human anatomy and physiology in this first-of-its-kind exhibit. Using the groundbreaking preservation process of Plastination, BODY WORLDS illustrates the vulnerability and wonder of the human body by showcasing nearly 200 real human specimens and more than 20 whole-body plastinates.

This fascinating exhibit allows educators and students to:

• Experience anatomy system by system, which aids understanding of the independent functions of each and how they fit within the body.
• Compare healthy and diseased organs - such as a healthy liver to one showing hepatocirrhosis and non-smoker lungs to smoker's lungs.
• See whole-body specimens without skin revealing the intricacies of bones muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and organs. Detailed written descriptions accompany all specimens for maximum educational value. Please note that eyes and genitals remain on whole-body specimens.
• Appreciate these systems in life-like poses, which illustrates how our bodies are structured and how they function during everyday activities.

Nearly 25 million people worldwide, including thousands of teachers and students, have seen BODY WORLDS. We invite you to be part of this amazing experience.
