Class topics at the NEC-based attraction include yoga, an anatomy art class with a live model, and sessions on philosophy and donating your body to science.

Richard Mann, NEC Group marketing development director said, “Real Bodies The Exhibition connects audiences to a deeper sense of what it means to be alive, exploring the entire human experience from the first breath to the last.

"It is a comprehensive educational exhibition pushing boundaries while seamlessly blending art, science and emotion as a museum of self.

“By offering visitors the exclusive opportunity to attend the Real Bodies Summer Classes for the Mind, Body and Soul, we hope to give them a greater insight to the human body, reminding us of all the complexity and magic within us that we often take for granted.”

These classes begin at 5.00pm and are free when visitors buy a ticket to the Real Bodies exhibition.

Real Bodies opened in Birmingham in June, featuring more than 200 real anatomical human specimens and provides insights into the wonders of the human body.
