Today, I had experienced one best moment inside the Saint Louis Science Center in Missouri, where the world renowned Body Worlds Exhibit was held.
Body Worlds is an eye-opening journey through the inner workings of the human body. It is an achievement in anatomical science, a gaze at humanity in all its glory and vulnerability.

The exhibit uses real human beings as specimens to understand the human body more. But when you see the specimens displayed, you’d wonder how it was possible to do such preservation process of tissues and tendons and muscles and eyes and genitals – like it has just been done a day ago.

According to Dr. Gunther von Hagens who started Body Worlds, the technique to halting decomposition and preserving the human tissue is Plastination. The key to Plastination is Forced Plastic Impregnation. Here, the force of the vacuum squeezes the acetone out of the specimen in bubbles and to the top of the impregnation tank. When acetone is removed a volume deficit is created within the specimen. This void is filled with reactive plastics that permeate the specimen.

Body Worlds is created for people to better understand their bodies. People who have been to the exhibit resolved to stop smoking or drinking and improve their diet. Body Worlds educates people about health and persuade them to change their opinions, as well as to motivate them to think about life and how short life is.

This exhibit is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to understand your own physiology and gain new appreciation of life and respect for what it means to be human. If you get the chance to be in Missouri before it closes around February 2008, drop by and see this really amazing work – featuring 200 authentic human specimens!
EXPLORE the locomotive, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, cardiovascular, digestive and reproductive systems.

SEE the muscles, bones and tendons that help humans move.

STUDY the organs and mechanisms that allow humans to fuel their bodies.

VIEW the complex pathways of our vascular system.

GAIN a greater understanding of how human life is made possible and what it takes to protect it.

Is this the same as BODIES: The Exhibition?
