BODY WORLDS:
The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies

The Omni Charlotte is proud to partner with Discovery Place as it presents:

Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies.

The most highly attended touring exhibition in the world.  From individual organs to whole-body plastinates, BODY WORLDS offers visitors a rare opportunity to see the complexity of human anatomy and physiology.

The exhibition features authentic human specimens preserved through a revolutionary process called Plastination.  This remarkable preservation technique replaces bodily fluids and fat with reactive plastics, thereby preserving human tissue in its natural state.  Visitors who embark on this amazing journey below the skin's surface will view an extensive collection including more than 200 authentic organs, systems and whole-body displays.

This unprecedented look inside illustrates how life, science and the decisions we make impact the human body.  After viewing the intricate interconnectedness and remarkable engineering within each of us, visitors will leave with a better understanding of what truly makes us human.
