A skinned human exhibition opened at Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry, known as MOSI. The exhibit features 20 human bodies and 260 human organs.

The Florida Anatomical Board, which regulates the distribution of cadavers for research and education, voted 4-2 in Gainesville to deny approval for the exhibit because board members did not agree with the way in which the bodies were preserved and displayed.

Some of the poses include "Running Man" and "Soccer Player."

But MOSI officials said they did not believe the board had the authority to block the exhibition and moved up the opening to Thursday.

"Notwithstanding the board's decision, Premiere (Exhibitions) and MOSI maintain that the board has no authority or jurisdiction over whether or not the exhibition should be viewed by the public," MOSI President Wit Ostrenko said in a statement.
