Body Worlds II – Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies is being shown at the Museum of Science and Industry after spending time this winter at the Boston Museum of Science
Throughout the ages, medical scholars and students have strived to understand how our bodies function through exploration of human specimens. Body Worlds 2, the most highly attended touring exhibition in the world, takes this tradition one step further by presenting more than 200 authentic human specimens—including individual organs—that have been preserved by a process called Plastination, invented by the leading anatomist of our time, Dr. Gunther von Hagens.
