Exciting New Addition to Expedition Health - World's First!

This spectacular new exhibit features two whole-body plastinates―one reaching down to help the other climb a rock face. "The Hikers" exemplifies the intricacy and beauty of the body in motion and illustrates how the many complex systems in our bodies work together to allow us to do amazing things.

The striking new whole-body plastinates allow visitors to see inside the staggeringly complex and interconnected network of bone, muscles, tendons, organs, and blood vessels that make up our bodies. Written descriptions accompany these specimens and highly trained volunteers facilitate dialog with visitors, answering questions and providing more in-depth information.  This iconic addition is located in the main gallery of Expedition Health among 20 activity stations and more than 20 authentic anatomical specimens already on display.

More information can be found in the Body Systems / Background and Supplemental Information section of the online guide.
