It is half term this week, and if you want to do something that is fun and educational then this is a great day out for the family.
Gunther Von Hagens world famous Body Works is back for the fourth time. Exhibiting real human bodies at the Museum of Science and Industry in the centre of Manchester .
There are over 200 authentic specimens on show, both individual organs and whole bodies which have been preserved by the ground breaking system of Plastination. Von Hagen invented this system himself in 1977. It preserves the body by removing all bodily fluids and fats etc and replaces them with a vacuum system in order to preserve them. The Exhibition shows an emphasis on sports exercises.
As well as the exhibition itself there are lectures, workshops and school classroom activities available exploring issues such as healthy living, anatomy and the ethics of Plastination.
Ticket Prices for Kids are £7+
Adults £10 +
Group tickets are also available for groups of over 4 people.
You can also opt for an audio tour for the small price of £3.00, which talks you through the exhibition in detail as you walk around it.
The exhibition runs until 29/06/08 and it is open until 5pm on most weeknights and 9pm at weekends.
Please note: As this exhibition shows genuine bodies and body parts it is advisable to think carefully before bringing very young children.
