Where did Body Worlds bodies come from?

All the human plastinates are from people who donated their bodies for plastination via a body donation program. Each Body Worlds exhibition contains approximately 25 full-body plastinates with expanded or selective organs shown in positions that enhance the role of certain systems.

Can you take pictures in the bodies exhibit?

We encourage you to contact your local medical school to learn about their need for body donations. Please contact our body donation office if you have any further questions. Can you take photographs or film in the exhibitions? Professional and commercial photography and filming in the exhibitions is not allowed.
