Budapest – Explore the human body at the new BODIES exhibition!

By the end of February, a new Bodies exhibition expects its visitors on an area of 1,500 m² in the Budapest Whale.

This year’s exhibition will be different than in previous years.

Bodies 2.0 – The Universe Inside Us can be viewed from a different approach. However, similarly to the old exhibitions, real human bodies and organs are exhibited with the purpose of helping visitors to understand their own bodies, as a result of which, more emphasis can be put on their health.

At Bodies 2.0, 200 organs and human bodies are exhibited that had been preserved by the so-called plastination process. As Hungarian news portal 24 reports, the plastination process is a relatively new preservation method by which water and lipids are detracted from the body and replaced with liquid plastic which – after its solidification – creates a permanent anatomical pattern. The process is able to keep the most fragile body tissues microscopically intact. Plastination results in authentic preparations, whose examination is an easy process. Thanks to this, numerous secrets and unknown information can be revealed concerning our body.
