the human body like never before as TELUS World of Science™-Edmonton
presents Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS: The Original
Exhibition of Real Human Bodies, the most highly attended
touring exhibition in the world. From individual organs to
whole bodies, BODY WORLDS offers visitors a rare
opportunity to see the complexity of human anatomy and physiology.
BODY WORLDS features authentic human specimens preserved
through a revolutionary process called Plastination. This
remarkable preservation technique replaces bodily fluids and
fat with reactive plastics, thereby preserving human tissue
in its natural state. Visitors who embark on this amazing
journey below the skin's surface will view an extensive collection
including more than 200 authentic organs, systems and whole-body
displays.
Gunther
von Hagens' BODY WORLDS exhibitions are the only
anatomical exhibits that use donated bodies, willed by donors
for the express purpose of serving BODY WORLDS mission
to educate the public about health and anatomy. To date, more
than 8,000 people have agreed to donate their bodies to BODY
WORLDS for Plastination and use in the exhibits.
Advance
ticket purchases are strongly recommended due to the popularity
of the BODY WORLDS exhibition. Without an advanced
