#Anatomy
Anatomic Excellence is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of Plastination and creator of BODY WORLDS, on July 24th2026, aged 81.
Through Plastination he has transformed anatomy education worldwide, making the complexity and beauty of the human body accessible to students, clinicians and the public alike.
Karen & I are honored to have worked on behalf of a true pioneer and know that his scientific and craftsmanship-based legacy will live on in every anatomy lab it reaches.
Our thoughts are with Dr. Angelina Whalley, Rurik von Hagens, the family, and his close colleagues. His courage, his perseverance and his unwavering belief that education serves humanity will continue to guide us.
