Yep, it’s coming again. The Body Worlds Exhibit at the DMNS. It opens March 12 and tickets go on sale to the public starting February 1st.

I’ve been to the exhibit once before and would recommend it. The museum recommends it for kids 5th grade and older. It’s definitely the type of exhibit you’ll remember seeing and learning from, well worth an evening at the museum. My most memorable Body Worlds body is the skinny person next to the overweight person - I never realized how fat holds in our bodies.  The exhibit has plenty of things like this that resonate with all audiences, so check it out.

We’ll post more info in February when tickets are on sale.

From the site:

Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS are first-of-their-kind exhibitions through which visitors learn about anatomy, physiology and health by viewing real human bodies. This is made possible by using an extraordinary process called Plastination, a groundbreaking method for specimen preservation invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in 1977. The specimens on display stem from the body donation program that Dr. von Hagens established in 1983.
