BODIES 2.0 Exhibition Opens At Third Street Promenade In Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, CA — Popular science exhibition BODIES returns to Southern California with "BODIES 2.0: The Universe Within" through the fall with immersive VR experiences devoted to learning even more about the human body.

"BODIES 2.0 offers an unprecedented and entirely unique view into the amazing human body, showcasing over 200 actual human specimens, whole bodies and organs respectfully displayed," organizers said.

Visitors learn about how the human body is composed, how the conservation of specimens works and even take a closer look through a virtual reality ride that takes visitors into the inside of a human body for a closer look at the inner self. This 7-minute immersive experience uses VR headsets (and is offered at an extra charge).

Organizers shared a content advisory for the exhibit.

"Please be advised, the content of this exhibition can be of strong emotional impact to visitors," organizers said.

"BODIES 2.0: The Universe Within" is presented by EMS Entertainment and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. through Oct. 15 at Santa Monica Art Museum, 1219 Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica.

Ticket prices vary. Advance tickets are encouraged. You can book tickets online. All tickets include a free audio and video guide to download.
