Bodies: the Exhibition is an American creation that began in 2005 in Tampa, Florida, and has toured several cities in the world. Its director doctor Roy Glover , said that this exhibition seeks to promote understanding of the body and raise awareness about its care.
However, it has not been without controversy due to the use of real bodies. Some people say the show is too violent for children and others question the ethical use of bodies and their origin. Faced with this controversy, the organizers have responded that the bodies were donated by the Chinese government for scientific purposes, and that involved people whose bodies were not claimed by their families.
The answer led to new disputes, since it has been suggested that may correspond to the bodies of dead opponents by the authorities. to this thesis, the organizers merely replied that they can not verify the origin of the bodies.
The address is 11 Fulton Street and the price for entry to the exhibition is $ 28.85, children 4 to 12 years are $ 22.32 and over 55 $ 24.50.
