Review/Comment
Take an eye-opening journey through the inner workings of the human body in this follow-up to 2005's extremely popular Body Worlds exhibition! Experience the human body in all its elegance and complexity in the exhibition of entire bodies in dramatic poses. Body Worlds 2 & The Brain presents a broad collection of authentic human specimens, and, for the first time in Philadelphia, a special presentation on the brain. Featuring some of the latest findings in neuroscience on brain development, function and disease, this exhibit will inspire a greater understanding of and respect for the mysterious world of the brain. All specimens in Body Worlds exhibitions are preserved by the revolutionary process of Plastination, invented by anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens. Body Worlds is the only public anatomical exhibition associated with an established body-donation program.

I am a nursing school student that has been to see the exhibit twice already and may go again before it leaves Philadelphia. It has brought the human body alive to me. Where else can you see the inner workings of our bodies up close? They are magnificent machines! If you are a student in any health services area, you will want to see this. You will see diseased organs and just how the human body functions and what happens when it doesn't function properly. What a treat! Collapse
