BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life is the latest instalment of the groundbreaking anatomical exhibitions by trailblazing scientist Dr. Gunther von Hagens, and features a special presentation on the human life cycle and ageing.
The displays and installations in BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life take visitors on a journey of self discovery, showing the body living through time - at its most radiant, as it changes, grows, matures, peaks and finally wanes. It includes a stunning look at conception and "ageing" during pre-natal development and a homage to the creativity of young people which shows the developing teen brain from infancy and childhood to adolescence. The exhibition shows the complexity, resilience, and vulnerability of the human body through anatomical studies of the body in distress, disease and optimal health. The brand new exhibit also includes human specimens to be seen in Taiwan for the first time. The plastinates show the form, beauty, function, and potential of the human body.
BODY WORLDS is the only anatomical exhibition with an established body donation programme through which inviduals grant informed consent that their bodies can be used in this way.
BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life will include more than 200 plastinates – specimens preserved through Plastination, the remarkable scientific process invented and perfected by Dr. von Hagens.
