Over 50,000 individuals have visited BÖRPERWELTEN in Magdeburg
The much-anticipated "BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life" exhibition is set to open its doors at the Hyparschale in Magdeburg on July 27, 2025, at 8:30 am. This unique event promises to take visitors on a journey through the human life cycle, showcasing real human bodies plastinated to illustrate development from conception to old age.
The exhibition, created by plastinator Gunther von Hagens, will run until September 7, 2025. It is centred around human development across all life stages, emphasising growth, aging, and health changes throughout the lifespan. Visitors can expect to see full-body plastinates, as well as numerous detailed body specimens, providing an unprecedented view inside the human body.
With around 150 real body specimens and about 20 full-body plastinates, the exhibition offers engaging educational content about anatomy, physiology, and how lifestyle affects health and aging. It aims to encourage reflection on one's own health.
