Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRXI) , today announced that it opened BODIES REVEALED in Monterrey, Mexico at Campus De La Salud, Technologico de Monterrey on Friday, September 29th for a limited engagement. The Exhibition showcases real human body specimens giving the public the opportunity to see their own bodies in a fascinating way like never before. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with OCESA, a leader in live entertainment.
"BODIES REVEALED saw hundreds of thousands of visitors in our first venture into Mexico at Folo Polanco and we look forward to continuing our presence in Monterrey and working with OCESA once again," said Arnie Geller, President and CEO of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. "Mexico has enthusiastically embraced the Exhibition's educational messages that have ultimately changed the way individuals see themselves. We are thrilled to reach a new audience and continue our success in the country."
BODIES REVEALED uncovers the truth about the human body. It gives the public the opportunity to see 'what lies beneath' their own skin. The exhibition will allow the visitor inside a world that has been taboo for centuries -- available only to the medical profession. It offers an insider's view of the systems that keep us alive and that carry out the activities that we take for granted every day. The exhibition also serves as a wake-up call reminding us that our own decisions directly affect our health and our lives and includes powerful side by side comparisons of a healthy lung and a black lung ravaged by smoking.
BODIES REVEALED provides visitors with an opportunity to see inside carefully preserved anatomical specimens and learn the detailed structure and function of the human body. In this process, human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber that is treated and hardened. The end result is a rubberized specimen, preserved to the cellular level, showcasing the complexity of the body's many bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and organs. The full-body specimens can take more than a year to prepare. After undergoing the polymer preservation process, they become impervious to decomposition.
