'Bodies' Exhibit Opens On North Shore

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― A new exhibit that has sparked moral debates, stirred controversy and attracted throngs of visitors in cities around the world is now open to the public here in Pittsburgh.

"Bodies: The Exhibition" began its seven-month run at the Carnegie Science Center's SportsWorks complex on the North Shore this morning.

The exhibit features 15 male and female human corpses that have been preserved by a process involving liquid silicone.

Some of the cadavers have been stripped of their skin and cut apart to give visitors a look at the different systems inside the body.

The exhibit is designed to increase understanding about how our bodies work – and how it breaks down.
