Lexington Christian Academy Students Visit Body Worlds Vital in Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Students from Lexington Christian Academy visited the Body Worlds Vital exhibit at Faneuil Hall Marketplace on Thursday, April 24th. The 10th through 12th grade students are enrolled in Painting & Drawing or Honors Anatomy/Physiology and took the trip to Body Worlds to supplement what they learn in the classroom.

About BODY WORLDS Vital: Physician and anatomist Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS Vital celebrates the potential of the active and actualizing human body. Featuring authentic human bodies, the exhibition shows the body through cautionary displays about distress and disease, and inspirational insights about the virtuosity and resilience of the human body. The bodies are preserved through a remarkable process developed by Dr. von Hagens called Plastination, which enables visitors to actually see inside the body. In this collaboration between donors, anatomist, and visitors, the donors – having given legal consent during their lifetimes to participate in BODY WORLDS – act as guides and teachers, across time, on this motivational journey towards health and vitality.
