The South Carolina State Museum Presents

Making its Southeastern premiere at the South Carolina State Museum, BODY WORLDS Vital celebrates the potential of the human body and the body in motion. This blockbuster exhibit is designed to show visitors a contrasting view of the reality between healthy and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Discover the contrast between healthy bodies and those in medical distress.

“There are few events that profoundly change the way we look at ourselves.”

“… I will never take my body for granted again.”

-- Comments from exhibition visitors
