When: 23 October 2009 to 6 March 2010
Visitors to The Cycle of Life learn about health and the science of the human body, from the human skeleton to the key organ and muscular systems. Using Dr Von Hagens’ patented invention of Plastination to preserve specimens for medical education, BODY WORLDS is the only exhibition with a unique body donation programme which has been ethically reviewed and scrutinized by official authorities. The displays and installations take visitors on a journey of self discovery, showing the body living through time. It includes a stunning look at conception and aging during pre-natal development, and pays homage to the creativity of young people which shows the developing teen brain from infancy and childhood to adolescence. This unconventional anatomical exhibition also offers a profound insight into the fragility of life and helps visitors to become more aware of their own mortality. The BODY WORLDS exhibitions have been touring for 10 years and seen by more than 28 million people internationally. Featured in major cities and museums around the world, the exhibitions have received very positive reviews from both educators and the public. Date: 23 October 2009 to 6 March 2010 |
