Gunther von Hagens'
BODY WORLDS
The Original
& The Cycle of Life
In BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life close to 200 authentic human specimens transformed through Plastination, show the form, beauty, function, and potential of the human body.
The BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life, a special feature on the human life cycle, shows the body living through time - from the first spark of life at conception to infancy and child-hood, from adolescence and youth to adult-hood and old age.
BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life inspires visitors by showing the body during the arc of ageing and the latest findings in longevity science. Regardless of age, the exhibition will resonate with everyone who sees it.
BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life invites visitors to navigate the inner terrains and outer borders of the human landscape. This multi-sensory experience compels visitors to reflect on the elegant form and function of the human body, the fragility under distress and disease, and its amazing strength and potential when healthy. BODY WORLDS is an unforgettable encounter with humankind as well as with one self.
Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life are the only public anatomical exhibitions that stem from an established body donation program and use donated bodies.
Renowned scientist, Gunther von Hagens is the inventor of Plastination - the anatomical specimen preservation method that makes the presentation of aesthetic anatomy possible Though Plastination, the post-mortal body is transformed into spectacular anatomical figures - plastinates - that allow the public to see the human body it has never been seen before.
A trabilizer in the field of anatomy and anatomical exhibitions for the public, Dr. Gunther von Hagens looks to the anatomists of the Renaissance, as well as this generation's scientists, for the inspiration in his continually evolving work. He is responsible for the anatomical specimens presented in the BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life.
Physician, Dr. Angeline Whalley, is the conseptual planner and designer of the BODY WORLDS &The Cycle of Life.

Once you walk into the exhibition, you can see how a particular person look like when they are just kids to teenagers, to adult-hood and old age. At first my sisters and I were thinking that maybe they could do this to us if we could pay, but no, there are no such service. Sad.
There is also a screen, showing about sperm entering the ovum and forms an infant. The we get to see how does infants look like when they are in mummy's tummy. How adorable! we also get to see a striking display oh sight and vision on birth and later in life, that presents computer simulations of the vision of impressionists painters Cloud Monet and Edgar Degas, who suffered eye diseases. Using the scholarship of Stanford University Professor of Ophthalmology, Dr. Micheal Marmor,the displays shed light on the challenges faced by Monet during the creation of his Giverney landscapes and Degas' visual problem that affected his Women Drying Her Hair. What they saw and what they painted are totally different.
There are also displays and comparisons between the body of normal people and body of people who smokes and having obesity on ageing. You should really see how black the smoker's lung is. It is blacker than you thought, trust me. And the liver of an obesity person is very yellow compared to normal human.
It also features findings on geographic clusters around the world that show where the oldest people lives - from Okinawa, Japan and Ovadda in Sardinia to the Hunza region of Pakistan. These people form all these regions, who defy our understanding of what longevity means, have be found to share some common traits and lifestyle practices that we can all learn about. So far I can remember, there is a display about an old lady who is 105 years old, is still driving a car and is one of the most active church member. Another displays show that the villagers in Okinawa only eat 80% full every meal. There is also a picture showing an old man diving into the swimming pool. And last but not least, a very old man still farms. All of them look at their 70-80s though.
There are also cross sections displays of human organs. So far I can remember, human beings start to loose their hearing at the age of 18, but we just don't realise it until they reach the age of 40 or 50. And do you know that the skin is the largest organ in the human body. There is also a display showing the blood vessels in our human body, which shows that the lips and figer tips have the most compact blood vessels, which means our lips and finger tips are the most sensitive parts in our human body. The galleries include prenatal Gallery, Locomotive System, Nervous System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular System, Digestive system and Urinary Tract and Reporduction.

Well, I do have one picture with me, but it's only the entrance =.=lll And it's actually a human body inside the pyramid, and its 3d and it's formed by a projector on top.
Thank you for reading!

& The Cycle of Life
Like no other museum experience in the world, BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life changes the way we see ourselves. The mesmerising exhibitions by trail-blazing scientist, Dr. Gunther von Hagens, present the complex elegance of the human body.
