In 2005 and again in 2007, more than 1 million people were amazed, intrigued and collectively a little grossed out by Body Worlds and Body Worlds 2, the exhibits of plasticized human bodies that took visitors on trips inside themselves.
And millions more will have the chance again this spring whenBODY WORLDS& The Cycle of Life, a new exhibit in the Body Worlds line that will make its U.S. debut at the Museum of Science and Industry on March 18.
The 14,000-square-foot exhibit focuses on the human life cycle, from conception and prenatal development to aging, explored through the late-life works of Claude Monet Edgar Degas, who made some of their most well-loved works in their later years despite suffering from eye disease.
Tickets will go on sale to the public on January 24, 2011.
