The Human Body Exhibition has world premiere in Dublin February 2nd

Dublin has been selected for the world premiere of the Human Body Exhibition – a brand new exhibition featuring more than 200 real human body specimens. This remarkable exhibition, meant to both captivate and educate, opens for a limited time at Dublin’s Ambassador Theatre on February 2nd, 2012.

The Human Body Exhibition highlights the essential components of the human anatomy. Nine galleries display carefully dissected and preserved partial- and full-body specimens. These amazing specimens provide insight into how the human body functions and how it is affected by lifestyle choices, such as smoking and overeating. Designed to educate, encourage and enlighten, the exhibition displays the physical damage caused by neglecting your body.

All of the exhibition’s specimens were donated in accordance with Chinese law to the Dalian Hoffen Bio-technique Laboratory, which conducts research into the innovative Plastination technique. The laboratory uses this technique to preserve and display the specimens.

Using treated and hardened liquid silicone rubber, specimens are preserved at the cellular level. The rubberised final result showcases the complexity of the body’s bones, muscle, nerves, blood vessels and organs. This is a slow and delicate process that requires great care and respect. It takes over a year to prepare the full-body specimens.

The organisers of The Human Body Exhibition have presented similar exhibitions in the past, attracting more than 20 million visitors around the world. This brand new exhibition is sure to be another great success.

“We are excited to bring this fascinating new exhibition to Dublin,” says Noel McHale of MCD Promotions. “The Human Body Exhibition delivers powerful messages on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and creates a unique and unforgettable experience for our residents and visitors.”

The Human Body Exhibition opens February 2, 2012 at the Ambassador Theatre on O’Connell Street in Dublin’s city centre for a limited time. To purchase tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.ie.
