There are only a few days left to check out one of the most popular and possibly controversial exhibits to hit Rochester.
More than 140,000 people have turned out to see the "Our Body: The Universe Within" exhibit at the Rochester Museum and Science Center.
Officials at the museum say visitors have come from all over Monroe and surrounding counties to see the exhibit which shows real human bodies in all stages of health. While no exact figure has been calculated, museum officials say they have generated enough money to both cover the cost of the exhibit and create a healthy profit for the RMSC.
"The exhibit has been very well-received. We've received a lot of calls and thank you letters from people saying they were happy that they brought it here. Its an opportunity for most cities our size don't have," says Debra Jacobsen, marketing and communications manager at RMSC.
The final day for the exhibit is Tuesday, January 1st. There are only a few open times left to view you can call: (585) 271-4320 for ticket information or log onto the museum's website.
