Making its Florida debut, BODY WORLDS presents the form, function, complexity and beauty of the human body.

The striking whole-body plastinates in BODY WORLDS -- people who in their lifetimes donated their bodies for Plastination for the express purpose of educating future generations about health -- allow viewers to see inside the staggeringly complex and interconnected network of muscles, tendons and blood vessels that make up our bodies.



The specimens on display stem from the Institute for Plastination's body donation program. There are over 8,900 body donors on the Institute for Plastination's body donor roster, with over 800 Americans listed among them.



To participate members of the media must RSVP to Michelle Money Carson,
