In order to continue meeting the community demand for tickets, the exhibition will remain open daily until 10 p.m. The public is strongly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance for timed admission to avoid line congestion and expected crowds.

In its brief five month visit, Bodies Revealed made a powerful impact on the Sacramento region and quickly became a leading cultural attraction for the area. Families, adults, seniors, teens and children have all experienced the exhibition.
Medical school groups and K-12 schools have also utilized the exhibition as an educational tool offering an unprecedented tool to teach about the human body in anatomy, biology, general science and art.
High school art classes have also taken advantage of the exhibition to stage “Sketch Night” visits in order to provide students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study and sketch the human form as never before.
