Imagine peeling back the layers of the human body like pages of an open book. That's what you get to experience here. Take a look around; notice the vivid colors and intricate details of the exhibits? That's the magic of Gunther von Hagens, the inventor of the plastination technique. Did you know it was initially created for medical students to better understand anatomy? But now, right here in Heidelberg, you can explore this hidden world too. If you look to your left, you might spot the mesmerizing display of a human nervous system, almost like a piece of art. Remember, each exhibit tells the story of a real life.
