We are proud to present this remarkable exhibition offering the unique opportunity to see and understand the mysteries under our skin. More than 20 million people have seen BODY WORLDS exhibitions around the world. This exhibition enables young people to understand how the body works when it's healthy and what happens when it breaks down. Students see how lifestyles may affect the body. They see the brain's potential, abilities, and vulnerabilities. The whole body specimens are without skin so you can see the bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and organs. Eyes and genitals of the bodies remain. A separate section of the exhibition highlights prenatal development and includes embryos and fetuses. This area is curtained off from the main exhibit floor, so viewing is strictly optional. BODY WORLDS is aligned with The Tech's mission to "inspire the innovator in everyone", and complements and builds on permanent Galleries and exhibits in the museum focused on medical technologies, biotech, genetics and the human body. Please be sure to allow for time in the museum with your family or students, enjoying interactive exhibits that will enhance the whole BODY WORLDS visit and experience!
