Program details

Every now and then an exhibit like Body Worlds: Pulse comes along that will change the way you see yourself and the way you live your life. Experience the science and splendor of the human body through plastination, a breakthrough in human anatomy invented by trailblazing scientist Dr. Gunther Von Hagens.

Learn about the human body, it's form and function, it's vulnerability and potential, and the challenges it faces navigating the 21st century. BodyWorlds: Pulse is an inspiring, immersive, multimedia exhibition about health, wellness and living to the beat of life in a vibrant, fast-paced city. It is an exhibition unlike any other. Body donors who willed their bodies for plastination and the education of future generations, act as guides and teachers on this unforgettable journey of discovery.
