ABOUT US
With more than 100,000 thousand people having visited the BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life since opening in Cape Town in November last year, and 36 million visitors worldwide, one of the most visited exhibitions in South Africa should contribute significantly to Johannesburg’s inner city revitalisation programmes when it opens at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in the heart of the city’s Newtown District on 20 March 2013.
The first anatomical exhibition of its kind to display real human bodies will join the likes of the Market Theatre, Museum Africa, Afronova Gallery, the World of Beer and the Reserve Bank in the shadow of the iconic Nelson Mandela Bridge until the end of June 2013. Following the phenomenal success in Cape Town, the Johannesburg leg promises to offer visitors an unforgettable peek under the skin to experience just how amazing our bodies truly are.
BODY WORLDS brings a new dimension to the term edutainment, the act of learning through a medium that both educates and entertains. Coupled with the aim of bringing textbooks to life, this spectacular anatomical exhibition makes life sciences more accessible and therefore also has a natural affinity to Sci-Bono, South Africa’s largest science centre.
The specimens on display stem from an established body donation programme that has been administrated by the German Institute for Plastination since 1983. The Programme has a roster of over 13,000 donors.
