| REAL BODIES: THE EXHIBITION opens July 7!
REAL BODIES opens July 7 as the first highly-anticipated traveling exhibit at the newly-renovated Sloan Museum of Discovery.
REAL BODIES THE EXHIBITION, is presented by Hurley Medical Centers in partnership with Sloan Museum. This powerful exhibit has been seen in big cities across the globe, and now you can see it in the Sloan Museum of Discovery, starting July 7, in the new 6000 square feet Fun Gallery exhibition hall.
REAL BODIES transforms the way we view the mysterious organism we all share - the human body - and reminds us of all the complexities and magic within us. Curious learners of all ages are welcome; recommended for ages 12+.
Click here for an interview with Executive Director, Todd Slisher, about why he brought this important exhibit to Mid-Michigan for the very first time. Tickets are sold at :15- and :45-minutes after each hour to provide visitors a more personal experience. Learn more and buy your tickets in advance at SloanLongway.org/Real-Bodies. |
