Question:

What is the name of the museum in san diego, ca that has real dead human bodies?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It won't be held at a museum, but an empty department store.

From the article below: "In San Diego, Premier's ??Bodies?? exhibit is being shown in a vacant department store at the University Towne Centre shopping mall through Sept. 9."

I took the liberty of linking to it in Google Maps (see link).

Have fun. I saw the Body Works exhibit in Los Angeles and this one in Washington, DC. It's pretty amazing.

The reason it won't show at a museum is that the bodies were obtained differently. The Body Works bodies were from people who donated their bodies to science - it was done with consent.

The bodies in this exhibit are used to make profit and they came from the government of China (mostly) likely without the consent of the deceased. That is rather controversial, and certainly not something that many publicly funded museums want to get involved in.
