Life Exhibit

The Story of You

We are curious about our bodies, awed by the power of our minds, and eager to probe the depths of our own human spirit. Life tells the story of you through three areas:  Body, Mind, and Spirit. From birth to death and many steps in between, Life explores what makes us human.

View surgery, see decomposition in action, age your face, play tricks on your mind, and make some interesting body noises. The experiences are as real and personal as life itself.
