Since this Museum was founded in 1996, the Texas Medical Center and its constituency have supported our efforts to be a vehicle through which some of the world's finest health institutions can educate families on health, wellness and the science of life and taking care of themselves.

As longtime partners with the Museum, we are delighted that this intriguing exhibition, which provides a unique and educational perspective on the inner workings of the human body, will be showcased in an environment that has nurtured health education from its inception."

We offer our congratulations and advocacy," said Dr. Vanzant in recent correspondence.
According to Dr. Roy Glover, Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Michigan, and the Chief Medical Director and spokesman for BODIES ... The Exhibition, "Seeing promotes understanding and understanding promotes the most practical kind of body education possible."
