If you missed it the first time around, Body Worlds is back (May 31, 2013) to give an real insider’s perspective on the inner body in a way that only a glimpse of a real body can provide.
The controversial and completely eye-opening experience, created by world renowned Dr. Gunther von Hagens, features real, donated human specimens allowing visitors to explore the internal world of anatomy, physiology and health through a process called Plastination – it’s a rare chance to see what’s under our skin and it’s only at The Museum of Science. “We’re extremely excited to bring one of the latest Body Worlds exhibitions to Buffalo and continue our ongoing conversation on how certain lifestyle choices can either positively or negatively affect our health,” said Mark Mortenson, BMS president and CEO. “We have often been asked when we would be bringing Body Worlds back to the Museum, and now those who enjoyed or missed Story of the Heart now have another chance to experience Vital. The success of our 2009 Body Worlds engagement made it financially possible for us to begin the transformation of the museum experience with the installation of interactive science studios. Vital presents us with an opportunity to showcase these new permanent spaces to new audiences and provide a full museum experience to guests of all ages this summer.”
Timed tickets for Body Worlds Vital are now available for purchase at www.sciencebuff.org. Tickets include general admission to the museum, including its new science studios.
