Körperwelten Museum
Body Worlds exhibits have traveled the world since 1995, visited by millions. The technique of freeze-drying and slicing human specimens and their parts into paper-thin slivers was developed by two University of Heidelberg scientists on a mission to improve better health. In addition to displays of healthy and diseased hearts, lungs, blood vessels, and even full skeletons, exhibits explore the technical process and scientific potential of “plastination” invented by the two researchers, which also happen to show the inner beauty of the human body. Admission includes a free audio tour in English or German.
