BODY WORLDS RX: Prescriptions for Healthy Living

Appearing from May 18 to January 12

The specimens on display show impressive comparisons and contrasts between healthy bodies and organs and those stricken with disease. Particular emphasis is put on some of the most common ailments such as back pain, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases like arteriosclerosis and heart infarctions, dementia, and more. It will inspire visitors to embrace preventive healthcare through an informative and entertaining presentation of the latest research on top health issues.
From organs to muscles to the nervous system and to skeletal structures, BODY WORLDS RX gives unprecedented look inside the most sophisticated mechanism in the world, the human body. Created by anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of Plastination and Dr. Angelina Whalley curator of the trailblazing BODY WORLDS exhibitions, the exhibit features real human specimens preserved through Plastination, a technique that removes the fluids from the body and replaces them with plastics that harden.

Viewer discretion is advised:
This exhibit showcases the complete human body.
