The Grand Rapids Public Museum this fall is scheduled to host a traveling exhibition featuring whole and partial body specimens that have been dissected and preserved.
The museum announced Wednesday that "Bodies Revealed" will run Nov. 20 through May 1.
It's expected to include about 12 full body specimens and 200 additional organs and partial specimens. The displays offer a look inside human skeletal, muscular, respiratory and circulatory systems.
Organizers say the bodies, which are preserved through a process called polymer preservation, are respectfully presented. They say they hope the exhibit will educate and inspire youth to enter health care fields.
The museum says it conducted community focus groups before deciding to host the exhibition.
