Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS: The Original & The Cycle of Life @ Singapore 23 Oct 2009- 6 Mar 2010
Science Centre Singapore will be hosting the world renowned Gunther von Hagens BODY WORLDS: The Original & The Cycle of Life - the latest instalment of the groundbreaking anatomical exhibitions of real human bodies.
Visitors to The Cycle of Life learn about health and the science of the human body, from the human skeleton to the key organ and muscular systems. Using Dr Von Hagens’ patented invention of Plastination to preserve specimens for medical education, BODY WORLDS is the only exhibition with a unique body donation programme which has been ethically reviewed and scrutinized by official authorities.
The displays and installations take visitors on a journey of self discovery, showing the body living through time. It includes a stunning look at conception and aging during pre-natal development, and pays homage to the creativity of young people which shows the developing teen brain from infancy and childhood to adolescence. This unconventional anatomical exhibition also offers a profound insight into the fragility of life and helps visitors to become more aware of their own mortality.
