You have until February 17, 2013 to attend Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds - The real world of the human body, the traveling exhibition arrived in Milan last fall and held at Fabbrica del Vapore.

The process of plastination allows to perfectly preserve human tissues and organs, by replacing some silicone polymers to body fluids.

The exhibition in Milan celebrates the wonder of the human body, paying particular attention to the heart, consider the real "engine" of life, the first organ to form after conception. Through the comparison between healthy organs and organs affected by deseases, showing almost all the details of anatomy, Body Worlds discloses and teaches on issues of health, wellness and proper nutrition, enabling people to understand exactly what happens when the body get sick and how the wrong life style can affect your health.
