OCtober 15
Organisation: Gubener Plastinate GmbH
Saving an elephant from transience was a recordbreaking challenge for anatomist Gunther von Hagens.
“Samba,” a female elephant, weighing 3.2 tons (as
heavy as three small cars) and measuring 6 x 3.5 metres
required techniques, resources, and efforts that matched
her enormous size. The plastination of Samba took
64,000 working hours,
4 tons of silicone,
and 40,000 litres
of acetone.

Learn and explore.
The lessons of your biology textbook spring to life when
you look at the inner structures of the brown bear, octopus, gorilla, shark, ostrich, and horse. The intriguing
specimens on display reinforce the study of animal biology, physiology, zoology, and veterinary studies for visitors of all ages.
Each animal
houses its own universe.
Gunther von Hagens‘ KÖRPERWELTEN der Tiere (BODY
WORLDS of Animals) features 20 whole animal bodies
and more than 100 detailed studies of organs and skeletal,
muscular, and nervous systems. This anatomical menagerie allows visitors an encounter, up close and personal,
with the natural world’s most mysterious and revered species. Discover the universe within and learn what resides
under the animal’s skin!

Moments of wonder
and comprehension.
From experience
to awareness.
The exhibition allows a peek under the elephant’s skin.
Its trunk with a network of 40,000 muscles is a feat of
design excellence, as well as virtuosity. And who would
have known that a giraffe uses its 50 centimetre long bluish tongue like a hand?
The exhibition KÖRPERWELTEN der Tiere addresses both
young and old visitors and increases their appreciation
for life, nature, and for the threatened biodiversity.
