Body Worlds 2 at The Maryland Science Center

CareFirst is a sponsor of one of the most highly acclaimed and the most widely visited exhibitions in the world. Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS 2 & The Brain—Our Three Pound Gem will appear at the Maryland Science Center from February 2 until September 1, 2008. This exhibition will teach you about the inner workings of the human body and show how poor health, good health and lifestyle choices can affect your body. It may also raise your curiosity about the science of anatomy. Real human bodies show the details of disease and anatomy that cannot be shown with models. Plan your visit.
