Unlike anything else in the Smokies, Bodies Human features real human specimens preserved through an innovative process called plastination, allowing visitors to explore the intricate systems that power our everyday movements. From the delicate network of blood vessels that keep us alive to the powerful muscles that propel elite athletes, each gallery reveals new mysteries of human anatomy in stunning detail.
Perfect for families seeking both entertainment and education, the exhibition creates memorable learning moments that bring science textbooks to life. Visitors of all ages find themselves captivated by over a dozen full-body specimens and more than 100 individual anatomical displays, each telling its own fascinating story about how our bodies function.
“The human body is a masterpiece of engineering,” says the exhibition’s curator. “When visitors see the intricate layers of muscles that allow us to smile or the complex framework that lets us stand and walk, they gain a whole new appreciation for the miracle of being human.”
The exhibition’s downtown Gatlinburg location makes it an ideal addition to any Smoky Mountain itinerary. As an indoor attraction, Bodies Human offers an engaging escape regardless of weather conditions, making it perfect for rainy days or as a cool retreat from the summer heat.
