EDUCATIONAL OVERVIEW

OUR BODY: THE UNIVERSE WITHIN is possibly the most valuable educational resource and visual opportunity that students of all ages, teachers and members of the medical community have this summer in Arkansas.

This fascinating exhibit of actual human bodies and specimens and ancient and modern anatomical artwork brings to people of all ages the opportunity to understand their own bodies, in a way that was never before available to the general public. Medical students and all related medical disciplines have always been required to study the human body in order to understand its function and form. Now, we bring that vital and fascinating opportunity to everyone. OUR BODY: THE UNIVERSE WITHIN allows all who wish to view it an insight to the inside: giving you a true look at the inner workings of the extraordinary human body.

The polymer impregnation process has preserved all of the specimens in the exhibit in such a way that all organs are identical to their pre-preservation state down to the microscopic level. This allows one to view a true human body, with all organs, systems, ligaments and muscles intact and visible. It is truly the key to a new understanding and appreciation of one's own body.

Educators wishing to develop their own programs around the exhibit should contact LaJean Burnett, MASM's Director of Educational Programs directly at 501-767-3461, or by email. Click here for OUR BODY Exhibit Correlation to AR Life Science Frameworks.
