Bodyworlds and the Brain

Closes Wednesday, October 5. Don't miss BODY WORLDS & The Brain!

Making its St. Louis debut, Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS & The Brain unravels the mystery of the mind and the secret world of the brain. In this all-new exhibition, visitors will view more than 200 authentic human specimens, all preserved through the process of Plastination, the specimen preservation method invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Through its aesthetic and accessible displays, BODY WORLDS invites contemplation, study and reflection of the power and vulnerability of the human body and the brain.

Very amazing. The nervous system and artery models were really impressive. The lungs encouraged me not to smoke, for sure.

This was a great learning experience. I am nurse practitioner for over 20 years and this exhibit gave me an opportunity to see the body from a different set of lenses. Also, it gave information that can be easily understood. -Anonymous

What an incredible exhibit! Finally got here to see it and was blown away. Every child in grade school should be required to see this!
-Kristi

Enjoyed the exhibit. One of the best I’ve seen.

Wonderful display! Enjoyed every aspect of it. Brought my 11-year-old twin girls and it really reinforced their learning and understanding of the human body.
