This is the first time that Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS has ever been to San Diego. The exhibition is the original anatomical exhibition of real human bodies, by inventor of Plastination Dr. Gunther von Hagens.

The specimens on display stem from donors who decided during their lifetime that they wanted to enlighten future generations about health and human anatomy through Plastination.

Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS & The Brain—Our Three Pound Gem is the only exhibition that provides insight to the human body with a special feature highlighting the brain, including development, function; brain disease, disorders; and brain performance and improvement.

Thanks to a process invented by Dr. von Hagens called Plastination, these exhibitions feature dynamic, whole-body plastinates that are unparalleled for their aesthetic and informative value.
