Body Donation


The specimens originate from body donors to the Institute for Plastination, who willed their bodies for scientific research and medical education through Plastination. Without their donated bodies, neither the PLASTINARIUM nor the BODY WORLDS exhibitions could exist. Their clear visions and selfless generosity are given our utmost respect and gratitude.

By giving your consent to donate your body for Plastination, you are not signing any sort of contract, merely a declaration of intent which you may revoke at any time at your sole discretion. No fees must be paid for a body to be donated, and the donor will not receive any money.Of course you can still donate your organs when you consent to donate your body for Plastination. Since they save or extend lives, organ donations always take priority over body donations.

If you wish to receive more information about donating your body for Plastination, please stop by the body donation information stand at the PLASTINARIUM or contact the Institute for Plastination, Body Donor Office.
