Körperwelten Bremen

In the organizer's words:

The exhibition has already inspired more than 55 million people around the world. Now the most successful anatomy show is coming back to Bremen with a new theme.
KÖRPERWELTEN - Am Puls der Zeit is the latest exhibition by KÖRPERWELTEN creators Dr. Gunther von Hagens and Dr. Angelina Whalley. The exhibition shows the human body in its many facets, its vulnerability and its potential in the face of the challenges it has to overcome in the 21st century.

The exhibition "KÖRPERWELTEN - Am Puls der Zeit" invites visitors to critically question the constant sensory overload of modern life and its long-term effects on body and mind. In addition to explanations on nutrition, exercise and strengthening the immune system, the exhibition aims to show how a long and healthy life can be achieved in today's world.

KÖRPERWELTEN is an exhibition that changes the way we look at ourselves and our way of life. The fascinating real human exhibits provide comprehensive insights into the complex structure of our inner life and explain the functioning and interaction of body systems and organs, as well as common diseases, in an easily understandable way.

The plastinates shown in the KÖRPERWELTEN exhibition come from the body donation program of the Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, in which more than 21,000 donors are now registered.
