BODY WORLDS
-
The medical-anatomical exhibition BODY WORLDS, one of the most successful touring exhibitions of the world is now held at Singapore Expo, Hall 1 till 8 February 2004. Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore is the first country in South East Asia to host this extraordinary exhibition. More than 13 million people in eight countries and 22 cities have viewed the interior of the human body.
At BODY WORLDS, you will be able to see 26 full body specimens and approximately 200 isolated organs arranged according to individual topics and learn more about their functions and typical diseases.
The specimens are permanently preserved with plastination - an impregnation technique in a vacuum where tissues are completely saturated with special plastics. Not only does plastination facilitate the permanent preservation of the specimen, it also allows entirely new forms of anatomical display.
Our aim is to provide a window of opportunity, particularly for the medical laymen, to better understand and view unique insights into the healthy and diseased human body. Viewing the exhibits allows you to get a real sense of the nature of our bodies, and to recognise each human's individuality and the anatomical beauty within.
BODY WORLDS is an extraordinary exhibition that you should not miss! Share this precious opportunity of understanding and enhancing the knowledge about human body and its functions with the others. Come discover the mysteries under your skin!

Current exhibition Singapore
Until recently the privilege to view corpses and the human bodyÂ’s interior has been confined to medicine students and anatomists in dissection rooms. It is only due to the invention of plastination that the general public is now also able to enjoy fascinating insights into the human body. The plastination technique thus made a considerable contribution to health education.
In 1977, Gunther von Hagens invented the plastination technique which marked the beginning of a second anatomical revolution. Andreas Vesalius who created precise anatomical drawings as early as in 1543 was the pioneer of modern anatomy. Since then human corpses have slowly disappeared again from the human eye with the establishment of medical schools. A taboo emerged.
Gunther von HagensÂ’ plastinated bodies obviously touch upon this taboo and trigger controversial reactions throughout the world. The high number of visitors, however, proves the general populationÂ’s need to learn more about the structure and functions of their bodies."
Since the first exhibition in Tokyo in 1995 more than 13 million people have viewed the interior of the human body. The BODY WORLDS is hence the most successful touring exhibition world-wide. -
