Posted by tfootitt on August 26, 2008

If you’re having problems visualising the body structure under the skin, it might be worth your while visiting Gunther Von Hagens Body Worlds 4 exhibit at the O2 stadium from October this year.

“The only anatomical exhibition with an established body donation program and the informed legal consent of those on display, BODY WORLDS & The Mirror of Time will include more than 200 plastinates-specimens preserved through Plastination, Dr. von Hagens’ remarkable scientific process.

The exhibition will include more than 200 authentic ‘plastinates’ including several animal specimens preserved via a groundbreaking scientific process, created by Dr. von Hagens, to show the form, beauty, function, and potential of the human and animal body.

David Campbell, Chief Executive of AEG Europe, said: “The Body Worlds series has always intrigued and proved irresistible to the public. This new seminal exhibition from Gunther von Hagens will no doubt become one of London’s must see attractions and will appeal to anyone interested in how their body works.” ” (http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/media/releases_statements/releases_statements_2008.html?edit#040608)
