EXTRA, the marketplace for scientific touring exhibitions.
What are we made of? Where are we headed? Why are we here?
These questions have persisted since modern humans drew their first breath. At different time in our lives these questions take on different forms—popularity in high school, love in our twenties, life goals in our thirties, career in middle age, our legacy as we grow old—yet they all come from the same place: a desire to know who we are and to understand what is going on inside of us. Today is your chance to take a deeper look.
REAL BODIES uses real human specimens to explore the complex inner workings of the human form, the only thing we all share. Following a system-by-system approach, this Exhibition will give you greater insight into what’s going on inside of you. Along the way, you’ll also explore how elements such as breathing, hunger, and the rhythm of the heart have deep cultural and emotional significance that reaches back as far as the dawn of humanity.
This powerful Exhibition explores life by displaying more than 20 real, perfectly preserved human bodies and more than 200 anatomical specimens, through various themed galleries: "Anatomist's study", "Breathe", "Hunger", "Rhythm", "Move", "Think", "What becomes of us", "Love", "Beginning" and "Repair".
