Body Worlds (Gunther von Hagens)

Body Worlds, created by Gunther von Hagens, is an anatomical exhibition showcasing real human bodies preserved through a method called plastination, which replaces water and fat with plastics. This allows the bodies and body parts to be displayed in lifelike poses, providing insight into human anatomy, physiology, and the effects of lifestyle choices. The exhibit aims to educate the public about the complexity and beauty of the human body, promoting health awareness and a deeper understanding of how our bodies work. It is both an artistic and educational presentation of human anatomy.
