"My family and I saw BODIES...The Exhibition when it was in New York City... As a former science and health teacher, I wished I had been able to take my students on such an excellent educational field trip.   It is an outstanding instructional display that illustrates the wonders of the human body and the value of a healthy lifestyle."

Joseph F. Lagana
Former Executive Director, Allegheny Intermediate Unit

"As an educator, I am very excited to have the BODIES exhibition coming to Carnegie Science Center. By taking my students to see this exhibit, I will be able to demonstrate to them the wondrous intricacies of the human body in a way that is impossible through any other means. This is a fantastic opportunity that Carnegie Science Center is providing to our community and I would encourage all to take advantage of it."

Peter Frischmann
Science Department Chair, Winchester Thurston School
