'Bodies,' 'Dialog' extended

The show will go on a little bit longer for two Atlanta attractions: "Bodies ... The Exhibition" and "Dialog in the Dark."

The two exhibits, which originally were set to close this week, have been extended through Jan. 3, 2010, at the Premier Exhibition Center at Atlantic Station.

"Bodies" gives visitors an extensive view of the human body, while "Dialog" focuses on what it's like to live in a world without sight.

"We are extremely pleased with the performance of 'Bodies' and 'Dialog' at Atlantic Station," said Cheryl Mure, director of education at Premier Exhibitions. "The unique pairing of these two world-class exhibitions has been a runaway hit for our company and an educational extravaganza for visitors."

Atlanta-based Premier is also the force behind the traveling Titanic exhibitions, including the Titanic Aquatic at the Georgia Aquarium.

More than 175,000 people have visited the "Bodies" and "Dialog" exhibitions since they opened in August, Mure said.
