Understanding anatomy
The BODY WORLDS at the foot of the Berliner Fernsehturms gives insights into the highly complex structures of the human body and shows what connects us, keeps us upright and in motion, and what makes us laugh and love.
BODY WORLDS Berlin invites you to a touching and inspiring encounter with life and to examine what defines us. The BODY WORLDS museum opens the your eyes to different aspects of life that influence us all, such as happiness and misfortune, excess and moderation, pressure and release, and chance and destiny.
Since 2017, BODY WORLDS has also displayed plastinated animals. Visitors can examine the inner workings of an antelope, a yak, a dog and even a lion who was born in the Berlin Zoo, Icke. The lion is especially impressive with his extraordinary muscles. Icke weight 200kg but his strong hind limbs could propel him across incredible leaps of nearly 12 metres.
Plastination
BODY WORLDS Berlin was the first in a series of exhibitions created by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who invented the process of plastination in 1977. Plastination is the process where real bodies are preserved for scientific research and medical education. While his work has been copied countless times, his own work is still the most spectacular.

Would highly recommend
Would definitely recommend visiting here, particularly if you are interested in science or health. Really informative and insightful! Also great value for money and the exhibition was much larger than we initially thought so takes a good 1-2 hours to properly appreciate all of its features. We really enjoyed this experience

Amazing Experience
An extremely fascinating place to visit. All displays in the Körperwelten Body Worlds are from real specimens, chemically treated and frozen in time in resin to preserve everything that you see in this exhibition. Even though Body Worlds Exhibition can be found world-wide, if you've never been to a Body World Exhibition then take the time to visit it in Berlin. The information provided is in both German and English, including audio options. Everything in this exhibition is educational, for children (although a young child may actually be freaked out by the concept of this exhibition and what is on display) and adults alike. They're detailed and informational in regards to the human body, as well as biological information on selected animals. You'll see displays in person and before your eyes that you would usually only get to see through a digital screen or from pictures. You can get up close and as personal as it can get to take in the details of the human body, especially everything below the surface of the human skin. The displays are mostly visual, with some audio and interactive displays as well. Entry fees are not steep, and it is definitely worth the experience in the exhibition. The idea of the concept may seem off putting and visitors may not be so keen on seeing real skeleton and body parts of once living beings, but it isn't as disgusting as most would imagine it to be. If anything, you'll probably be more fascinated by what you will learn and see. Afterall, these parts are exactly the parts of each of our bodies. Set aside at least 2 to 3 hours for this exhibition, all of which depending on how eager you are to absorb the information provided.

Sehr interessant und lehrreich
Die Ausstellung war sehr interessant und man kann viel lernen wenn man sich dafür interessiert und die Infoschilder durchliest.

Faszinierend, spannend, aufklärend und noch viel mehr
Tolles Museum mit Einblicken in die Anatomie des Menschen. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen das man über das Museum kontrovers diskutiert. Ich persönlich bin über den Besuch froh und kann das Museum allen Altersklassen empfehlen! Danke das man so etwas ermöglicht!!!

Cuerpos reales !!!
Súper interesante: son cuerpos reales, y se ve en un vídeo como los plastifican y conservan. Es muy llamativo y sorprendente. Los niños fliparon!! (Y los padres también)

Manos mágicas y mente maravillosa
Siempre había visto esta obra maestra en revistas o por Internet pero verla en persona me dejó sin palabras.Otra visita obligada en Berlín

Bello ma...
Onestamente non si è mai visto da nessuna parte che la moneta per la borsa non debba essere restituita, è una cosa un po' da accattoni. Detto ciò almeno la guida in inglese è omaggio ma questo accade anche a Charlottenburg, dove lo zaino si depone gratuitamente. Detto ciò se non siete mai stati in un museo del genere e avete uno stomaco forte ve lo consiglio. Il prezzo è altino per l'esposizione ma è centrale, facilmente raggiungibile e sicuramente molto interessante.

Bekende expositie van echte humane lichaamsdelen.
Een zeer heldere uiteenzetting vooral vooral voor bezoekers die weinig of geen medische kennis hebben. dichtbij de ingang wordt een documentaire getoond die je beter eerst kunt zien opdat je het geheel daarna nog beter begrijpt. Ga kijken!

Indrukwekkende tentoonstelling van het menselijk lichaam
Nog nooit zoiets indrukwekkends gezien over het menselijk lichaam. Met de 'plastination' techniek worden echte lichamen geconserveerd. Tijdens deze tentoonstelling kun je alles van het menselijk lichaam met eigen ogen bekijken. Ook zijn bijbehorende teksten goed geschreven... Niet te langdradig en heel informatief. Hier wordt maar weer eens duidelijk gemaakt hoe belangrijk bewegen is voor de gezondheid zowel fysiek als mentaal. Ik ben zelf geen musea type, maar ik heb me hier geen seconde verveeld. Echte aanrader.

Très original et intéressant
Pour amateurs mais très très instructif. Bien fait, pertinent, explications en anglais. Un très bon moment. Bémols néanmoins : pas de sac même tout petit autorisé donc consigne obligatoire mais SANS retour de monnaie (moyen) et une caissière (la cinquantaine) détestable à l'entrée.

NO TE DEJARÁ INDIFERENTE
DOcumentarse un poco antes de visitarlo sobre Gunther von Hagen y sus obras de "plastinación" Impresionante y fuera de la ruta turística

da vedere !
Questa mostra non è affatto in tema Berlino ma di tutti i musei che abbiamo visitato durante la nostra permanenza è stato quello che più ci è piaciuto. Interattivo, multimediale, particolare e informativo. lo consiglio! unica pecca è il prezzo del biglietto che è altino a mio avviso...

Un peu déçue
L'exposition est vraiment limitée. Celle de New York était nettement plus intéressante. C'est dommage.

Interessantissimo
Interessantissimo sia per gli appassionati che per i semplici curiosi ,per gli adulti e per i bambini. non è impressionante .Però è bellissimo vedere come è fatto il corpo umano in diverse sezioni e in diversi organi ci sono anche dei video dove viene spiegato il processo di plastinazione e anche tante informazioni per ogni singolo pezzo esposto Peccato non ci fosse l'atleta con gli anelli che era in tournée.

Fascinant
Un musée qui me tarder de visiter depuis pas mal d'année . A la hauteur de mes espérance. Je conseil a toute les personne qui veulent en apprendre plus sur le fonctionnement du corps et comment il réagit à l'excès. A ne pas mettre sous les yeux des âmes et estomac sensible.

Enrichissant et didactique
Les corps représentant les organes humains sont extraordinairement bien représentés dans une matière ressemblant à la fois à un mélange de plastique et de cire, les vaisseaux sanguins sont parfois représentés comme le coeur comme de longs fils rouges souples. Il est très intéressant de voir comment le squelette est entouré de muscles et pour cela, le corps est mis en action dansant, courant, en mouvement de gymnastique. Concis, la visite est assez courte pour ne pas être envahi d'infos. Pas de photos et vestiaires casiers payants à 1 €. Juste à côté de la tour de télévision

Veel info
Alles wat je weten wilt over het menselijke lichaam en dan nog wat meer. Middels filmpjes, botten en afgietsels kun je allerlei onderdelen van de mens zien. De collectie bestaat uit de resten van mensen die hun lichaam voor de wetenschap hebben nagelaten en zijn soms ware kunstobjecten. Helaas mag je je rugzak niet meenemen en moet je betalen voor de locker (iets wat in de rest van Berlijn zelden voorkomt), mocht je ook naar de Televisietoren gaan, laat dan je rugzak staan, of je mag nog een keer betalen.

Geeft een hele andere kijk op je eigen lichaam
Gemist in Nederland en erg blij dit museum nu in Berlijn bezocht te hebben. Je lichaam is je tempel en hoe dat ding er nu van binnen uitziet? Daar had ik eigenlijk weinig weet van. Men roept wel eens dat het menselijk lichaam net een computer is nou daar ben ik nu ook echt van overtuigt. Het heeft mij veel geleerd en mij duidelijk gemaakt dat ik op mijn tempel best wel wat zuiniger mag zijn. Kortom leerzaam de moeite waard en in 90 minuten goed te doen .o ja focus op de tv toren voor de entree en je bent bij de entree voor beiden

La contemplación de esas esculturas hechas con cuerpos reales emociona, por lo tanto es arte.
Aunque la exposición tiene un importante carácter didáctico no es menos cierto que la contemplación de esas esculturas hechas con cuerpos reales emociona, por lo tanto yo lo considero arte. Me pareció una fabulosa exposición.

Visuelt fascinerende
Jeg har en uddannelse, hvor jeg i forvejen besidder en del af den viden, der gives på dette museum. Men derfor var det stadig en vild oplevelse at se musklerne og senerne på menneskekroppen på den måde, som man ikke kommer til at se andre steder. Informationerne var meget kortfattet og præcist, hvilket gjorde det meget overskueligt. Spændende museum, hvis man gerne vil have viden om sig selv - og/eller hvis man er nysgerrig og fascineret af menneskekroppen, som jeg.

Lærerigt
Vi tog ind og så udstillingen med vores datter på 9 år. Det er en spændende udstilling og meget lærerig, hun fik stillet mange spørgsmål og det gav mange gode snakke. Det var fascinerende at se hvor fantastisk kroppen er og hvor meget der skal spille sammen for at den virker. Det er ikke en kæmpe udstilling så tror vi så den på 1 1/2 - 2 timer. Kan anbefales.
