The exhibition features the instructional display of individual exhibits, thus enabling visitors to experience anatomy step by step as an intrinsic part of their body, quite similar to a three-dimensional textbook.

The tour starts with a human skeleton, followed by the locomotive system, the digestive system, special nerve and vessel specimen, and even the development of new life in the womb. Visitors are provided with precise insights into the structure of their body?s interior. Approximately 25 whole body plastinates reveal the true-to-life spatial relationships between organs. Diseased specimen due to infarcts or cancer are also on display; a lung blackened by nicotine illustrates the effects of tobacco consumption.

Medical professionals and non-professionals alike will certainly be fascinated when viewing their 'face within'. They will marvel at the diversity and beauty of human nature and have the opportunity to think about their own attitude towards health, life and death.
