What is the difference between BODY WORLDS and BODY WORLDS 2?
The whole-body plastinates in BODY WORLDS 2 are in more dramatic and sportive poses that elucidate the body’s capabilities while engaged in familiar activities that resonate with people today, for example, plastinates performing yoga, playing baseball, or skating on ice. It also features more female plastinates. It is the most contemporary of Dr. von Hagens’ exhibitions and shows many advances in the science and techniques of plastination.
BODY WORLDS 2 equals BODY WORLDS in size and proportion, comprising 15,000 square feet, and about 200 plastinated real human body specimens, including more than 20 whole bodies, healthy and unhealthy organs, body parts and slices. Dr. Gunther Von Hagens, creator of the exhibitions and inventor of the plastination technique, has designed BODY WORLDS 2 to reveal significant insights about human anatomy, physiology and health, presenting an unprecedented view of the structure and function of the human body and offering an unforgettable lesson on the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
