By allowing even amateurs to study real human preparations,
the PLASTINARIUM as a public area realizes Gunther von Hagens´ democratisation
of anatomy. The plastinates of
whole human bodies and sheets, which are made in Guben, are especially
suitable for this purpose. 31 million people in 60 cities have seen them in the
Body Worlds exhibitions so far.
Highly complex study plastinates (e.g. skeletons), sheet
plastinates, blood vessel
configurations and aesthetical large-scale plastinates are made here - human
beings and animals are preserved for eternity. Thus, the PLASTINARIUM makes a
valuable contribution to medical education, information and health care.
In the learning workshop, pupils, trainees and students can
teach themselves and prepare for exams using provided plastinates, models and
specialist books. Also doctors, professors, healing practitioners and medical
enterprises find a unique opportunity to further education and research on a
high level.
