Now in Amsterdam BODY WORLDS & The Story of the Heart More than 34 million people have seen this fascinating exhibition. Now Amsterdam gets the opportunity, too! Plastinator Dr. Gunther von Hagens and curator Dr. Angelina Whalley present their current exhibition at the EXPO Zuidas BODY WORLDS & The Story of the Heart. Sacrificing none of the awe of the original, this edition by the prolific duo offers visitors profound insights into the human body, health and disease, and the intricate world of the cardiovascular system. Featuring a unique collection of over 200 authentic human specimens including whole-body plastinates, organs and translucent body slices, BODY WORLDS & The Story of the Heart highlights cardiology and the heart. In this presentation, the first functioning organ to develop in the human embryo takes centerstage. The most hardworking organ of all, the four chambered muscle that nourishes, regulates, and sustains life is viewed through the lens of anatomy, cardiology, and psychology. Viewed as the seat of emotions, the heart is also considered in the context of history, culture and the humanities.
