KÖRPERWELTEN | München | Zeitfensterticket
In the KÖRPERWELTEN exhibition - At the Pulse of Time, curator Dr. Angelina Whalley presents the human body in various facets, highlighting its immense potential as well as its vulnerabilities in facing the challenges of the 21st century. She describes the theme 'At the Pulse of Time' as a reflection on the pace of modern life and its effects on our bodies and health. The exhibition aims to illustrate that our bodies reflect our lifestyles; everything we do or neglect--whether we engage in physical activity, how we nourish ourselves, the stress we endure, or the quality of our social surroundings--affects us positively or negatively.
Beyond explanations regarding nutrition, movement, or immune system strengthening, the exhibition demonstrates how a healthy and long life is achievable in today's world. KÖRPERWELTEN is an exhibition that profoundly alters our perspective on ourselves and our way of life, having already led more than 56 million people worldwide on a journey of self-discovery. Visitors will see everything from the human skeleton to muscle interactions and fetal development, gaining a detailed understanding of their inner workings.
A multitude of real human specimens, including remarkable whole-body plastinates, partial plastinates, transparent body slices, and individual organs, provide a comprehensive insight into the anatomy and physiology of the human body, explaining body and organ functions as well as common lifestyle-related diseases and their origins.
