Canadian Museum of Nature Event

Get under nature's skin!

Presented for the first time in Canada, this unforgettable exhibition gives you a close-up perspective of what lies beneath the surface of many amazing animals, large and small.

Thanks to plastination, you can examine the intricate biology (blood vessels, muscles, skeletons and internal organs) of certain mammals, reptiles, birds and invertebrates. Anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens (BODY WORLDS' creator) invented the ground-breaking process of plastination.

Among the full body plastinates you will see are a giraffe, camel, ostrich, octopus, giant squid and many other creatures. With more than 100 specimens, this is the most fascinating anatomy lesson imaginable!
