After nearly two months of delays, the Portland Science Center is expected to open later this month with a world-renowned exhibit that displays preserved human organs and bodies.

The Portland Press Herald reported that “Body Worlds,” an exhibit developed by a German anatomist over 20 years ago, will be on display when the center opens at a roughly 23,000-square-foot commercial building on Maine Wharf in late August. The exhibit has been shown across the world, including in Los Angeles, London and Berlin.

Stephen Goodrich, the owner of Maine Wharf and Powerpay’s former CEO, previously told Mainebiz that he chose Portland Science Center over a traditional office tenant for the commercial building in part because it will help boost tourism activity in Portland.
