I haven't actually read the bill, so I can't speak to the Mummy issue (I
must say I wondered about that myself), but I do know that we consulted on
its wording and it will not prevent BODY WORLDS from showing in California.
In fact, we open BODY WORLDS 3 this March. It may, however, prevent some of
the less reputable knock-off exhibits from showing in the state again. No
more leaking bodies of Chinese prisoners.
