With the invention of Plastination and the creation of the BODY WORLDS
exhibitions, Gunther von Hagens has made knowledge previously exclusive
to the medical profession, available to the general public.
His
groundbreaking polymer preservation process allows him to merge the
science and craftsmanship of dissection with the technical capabilities
of silicon polymers and his lifelong commitment to experiential
learning. The convergence of his multiple passions—as an anatomist,
inventor, educator, and health advocate—enable him to render whole-body
plastinates in aesthetic, accessible displays that invite
contemplation, study, and reflection of the awesome human body, by
everyone.
