Body Worlds 2: Real Humans. Real Science. Really Amazing.
This fall, Gunter von Hagens' BODY WORLDS 2 & The Three Pound Gem: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies is coming to The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose and you don't want to miss out! Presented by the Health Trust, BODY WORLDS 2 features more than 200 authentic specimens, including entire bodies, individual organs, and transparent body slices that were generously willed by body donors during their lifetime for the expressed purpose of plastination. Breathe California is proud to be one of only a few local agencies selected to partner with The Health Trust to provide educational support for this unforgettable display of human anatomy, physiology and health. Scheduled to run throughout the fall, the exhibit will provide guests with an unparalleled view inside the human body.
As the event's featured lung health experts, Breathe California is also excited to announce that it will be hosting a one-day Lung Health Exhibition at the Tech Museum in conjunction with BODY WORLDS 2 on Sunday Nov. 11th. This FREE event will boast a number of interactive and informative features, including a forum on healthcare legislation, a selection of environmental films, lung disease screenings, quit-smoking workshops as well as displays, information and expert speakers on other lung health topics. Join us for our exhibition and then stay to check out BODY WORLDS 2!
To help make this unforgettable exhibit a true success, we need your help! Volunteer on November 11th to help us put on our one-day exhibition for the thousands of local residents expected to attend. We are also looking for health professionals to serve in a “ask the expert” role, helping educate visitors about the body and human health.

BODY WORLDS 2 offers us the opportunity to reach close to half-a-million residents, and your support will help ensure that we don’t want to fall short in our efforts to reach all these individuals with key health information and services.
