Comments from Recent Body Worlds 2 Visitors
“What an OUTSTANDING exhibit! I am a firefighter/paramedic and EMS instructor. I have attended numerous autopsy labs and got more out of the three hours in Body Worlds 2 than any other! Dr. von Hagens should be commended for his work!”—Mike
“My kids are 8 and 10. I love that they were able to learn about the human body in such an amazing and honest way! They will never again have just a textbook perspective.”—Kelli
“We drove 300 miles to see this exhibit and it was worth every mile! This is an excellent opportunity to view human anatomy in all its detail and glory.”—Caryn
“I was a bit concerned at first as to what I would see—(could I look at it) for what it was and not think about the individuals and what had happened to them. However, once there it is so fascinating how God made our bodies so intricate. I don’t believe you could ever have the full scope of that without seeing it in this fashion.”—Deborah
“I am a massage therapy student. I have a newfound reverence for the living! I have seen many masterpieces in museums and great wonders of the world, but never have I been able to walk away feeling ownership of my own miraculous body, as I did from experiencing Body Worlds 2.”—Colette
“I am a 15 year old. I thought it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my life. Very informational and interesting. It was very tasteful and not disgusting or gross at all.”—Sarah
“I believe viewers who come to the exhibition can come away with a different perspective of their lives and life choices as well as their concept of death. That Dr. von Hagens might be disrespectful in his attitude toward life is inaccurate.”—SueAnn
“Throughout viewing this amazing exhibit, I had a feeling of deep gratitude to the people who chose to so generously donate their bodies for our education. I came away with not only a better understanding of our bodies, but also a deepened respect and profound interest to make healthy choices.”—unknown
