BODY WORLDS is a stunning anatomical exhibition that unveils the inner workings of the human body. Through the revolutionary technique of plastination, developed by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, real bodies are preserved in lifelike detail, showcasing the complexity and wonder of our anatomy. From full-body specimens in dynamic poses to transparent slices revealing our inner structures, each display offers insights into how our bodies function. Plus, you’ll get the chance to interact with features like the “Anatomical Mirror,” which overlays internal organs onto your own body.
Plus, this exhibition goes beyond physical anatomy. One of the most fascinating and emotionally resonant themes explored in this edition of BODY WORLDS (The Anatomy of Happiness) is the powerful connection between happiness and health. You’ll discover how emotions aren’t just abstract feelings—we physically carry them in our bodies. The exhibition takes you on a journey through the science of joy, revealing how happiness can affect our brain chemistry, boost our immune system, reduce stress hormones, and even improve heart health. You’ll learn how practices like mindfulness, movement, and meaningful relationships aren’t just feel-good strategies—they create measurable, visible changes in our anatomy.
Through stunning anatomical displays and compelling infographics, BODY WORLDS shines a light on what it means to live well, from the inside out. It’s a deeply personal and uplifting look at the science of happiness, offering not just insight, but inspiration. You’ll walk out with a whole new appreciation for the remarkable capabilities of the human body and the extraordinary ways our emotions shape our wellbeing.
