The Leonardo will be a first-of-a-kind science-art museum where young people and adults explore the world from new perspectives. While it will not officially open its doors downtown for a few years, The Leonardo is able to bring Body Worlds, the biggest exhibit ever to visit the state, to the people of Utah and surrounding states this fall and winter.
More than 25 million people in Asia, Europe and North America have seen Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds exhibits, and now this blockbuster event is coming to Salt Lake City.
