"Body Worlds: Vital" will open Feb. 15 at The Franklin Institute. The 16,000 square foot exhibition will feature a collection of real human specimens, including 20 whole-body plastinates.

Some of the images in BODY WORLDS RX could be upsetting for children to see during their trip to the science center, and because of that the exhibit is being displayed in a restricted area.

In the past, the Franklin Insitute hosted three iterations of BODY WORLDS, including the East Coast debut of the original exhibit in 2005, which drew record-breaking crowds of over 600,000 visitors.
