About this audio guide
This guide to BODY WORLDS Amsterdam begins in 1969 with an East German medical student, Gunther von Hagens, caught trying to cross the border into Austria. It follows him to Heidelberg and the 1977 invention of plastination, then looks at what you are seeing in the seven floors above the Damrak, where about two hundred specimens stand in poses from a saxophone player to a pair of lungs. Stand close to the first figure you reach and look at the fine detail.
