Life: The Story of You.
We are curious about our bodies, awed by the power of our minds, and eager to probe the depths of our own human spirit. COSI's Life exhibition tells the story of you through three areas: Body, Mind, and Spirit. From before birth to after death—and the many steps in between—Life explores what makes us human.
Parents please note: Some content inside COSI's Life exhibition may not be suitable for younger guests. Parental guidance is suggested.
