Unravel the truth beneath your skin at BODY WORLDS London

In the late 1970s, German anatomist Gunther von Hagens came up with a process called plastination. This method unites modern polymer chemistry and subtle anatomy to preserve the body’s anatomical structure. Today, a unique touring exposition, BODY WORLDS London, uses the process to showcase human and animal anatomical beauty. This presentation is open to the public and has gained immense popularity for its one of a kind subject matter. Visit the expo by purchasing tickets for yourself and the whole family.

The primary purpose of BODY WORLDS is to educate the public about their bodies and encourage better health awareness. Explore the museum to witness the plastinated exhibits and discover your body’s many physiological and anatomical mysteries. Learn how every part of your physique functions and what you can do to keep it in the best condition. The exhibition takes place over an area of 28,000 square feet at London’s Piccadilly Circus in the former Ripley’s museum.
