The Amazing Body Gallery
The Amazing Body Gallery allows guest to experience the human body as they journey through the exhibit’s a-maze-ing passages. Traveling from the giant beating heart, through the colon, and into the brain, guests enter a world of discovery. Once inside the network of corridors, guests get a sense of the exhibit’s vast size. The ideal location for a networking reception, this exhibit offers intimate niches for conversation.

Their voyage continues through every life-sustaining organ of the amazing body and connects to the adjacent Lower Exhibition Gallery.
