The PLASTINARIUM is the culmination of a long European scientific and democratic tradition.
In 1543 the surgeon Andreas Vesal established modern anatomy. He published authentic anatomical drawings in his anatomical atlas and staged public dissection, thus popularizing anatomy. In the same year the astronomer Nikolaus Kopernikus published an essay on cosmology where he proved that the earth orbited around the sun and not the other way round. Since then planetaria have afforded insights into cosmology. Just like the planetarium reveals insights about the creation and structure of cosmic worlds the PLASTINARIUM in Guben demystifies the creation and structure of both the body and BODY WORLDS: It is thus the anatomical cabinet of modern time.
