Gunther von Hagens maintains a permanent exhibition of plastinates and plastination at the Plastinarium in Guben, Germany.

As I remember, the attendance was close to 1 00 and even included some from outside the U.S. The predecessors of plastination can be summed up as:

The history of plastination began with the ancient Egyptians.

The International Society for Plastination (ISP) was founded in 1986 and the first issue of Journal of Plastination (then called Journal of the International Society for Plastination) was published in 1987.

Plastination galleries are offered in a few college medical schools including University of Michigan (said to be the nation's largest such lab) and the Vienna University. and you may need to create a new Wiley Online Library account.Enter your email address below and we will send you your usernameIf the address matches an existing account you will receive an email with instructions to retrieve your username Besides the development of plastination techniques in sensu stricto, related techniques had a renaissance with new applications and developments, including corrosion casting and diaphonization methods. Von Hagens Plastination offers one of a kind, real medical human teaching specimens. For larger specimens and blocks, the impregnation time could be prolonged to several days using anhydride hardened E12/E6/E600 epoxy polymer.

The idea of plastination was sparked when Gunther von Hagens saw organs that were embedded in transparent polymer blocks. Plastination is a technique of tissue preservation developed by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in 1977. The Institute for Plastination, along with von Hagens, made their first showing of plastinated bodies in Japan in 1995, which drew more than three million visitors. However, when exhibitions of specimens became popular, proprietary colouring mixes were painted onto the plastinates.A separate target direction was the scientific applications of plastination. Judging from both attendance and comments, it was a resounding success.5.
