Body Worlds




This is something I saw on TV and it looked amazing. Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart presents the form, function, complexity and beauty of the human body. Featuring a unique collection of more than 200 authentic human specimens including whole-body plastinates, organs and translucent body slices, this exhibit offers visitors profound insights into the human body, health and disease, and the intricate world of the cardiovascular system. All the bodies are real. We decided to take our family. Luckily Parker slept in his stroller most of the time. Julianne and Ryan were amazed at the whole exhibit too. Here are some interesting facts. Your heart pumps 1800 gallons of blood through your body every 24 hours. There are 60,000 thousand miles of veins/capillaries running thru your body.
