The PLASTINARIUM in Guben Closed Temporarily for Refurbishment Beginning January 1, 2009Reopening in Spring 2010 Guben,
Germany, 28. November 2008—More than 100,000 people have visited the
Plastinarium ever since its opening in November 2006; these visitors
included many health professionals from 45 countries coming to study
the exhibition. This fact confirms the reputation that the Plastinarium
has established as a world-renowned facility. In order to further
extend its leading reputation as a unique institution the Plastinarium
is temporarily closing its doors to the public for refurbishment. This
will commence in January of 2009 and continue until May 2010. The
reopening will reveal the Plastinarium as fully modernized anatomical
facility. Previous themes such as the history of anatomy and techniques
of dissection will be presented interactively. A new showroom will be
set up to display anatomical preparations. Students, healthcare
professionals, doctors, and medical engineering companies will have the
opportunity to receive information, practical training and research
opportunities, displayed at various levels, such as training modules on
surgical techniques, or prosthesis development for patients. The assembly of plastinates for institutions in all parts of the world will still be a major role of the Plastinarium. BODY WORLDS in Germany During
the restructuring period everyone interested in human anatomy is
welcome to visit a newly-conceived exhibition titled “KÖRPERWELTEN

2009 an image database displaying the best plastinates will be posted
on the internet, and can be viewed at the Gubener Plastinarium. This
image database will be developed step-by-step to eventually become an
anatomical online training module. In doing so, it is Gunther von
Hagens’ intention to further establish the reputation of Guben as a
“city of physical health”. Contact:
