BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A two-disc, special edition of Kinsey, released on DVD today (May 16), brings viewers into the 21st-century Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University.

The Fox Searchlight biopic examines the life of pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, who was a distinguished zoologist at Indiana University before he conducted groundbreaking research on human sexuality in the mid-1900s. Liam Neeson stars as Kinsey, with Laura Linney portraying Kinsey's wife.

"There is no mention at the end of the movie about the continued legacy of Alfred Kinsey," noted Jennifer Bass, head of information services at the Kinsey Institute. "With the expanded features, DVD viewers are introduced to our vibrant and productive institute today."

In addition to a gag reel, deleted scenes and the original ending, the special edition includes the following features involving the Kinsey Institute:

Artwork from the Kinsey Institute will be on display in Los Angeles, May 17-19, at The Gallery @ 8920 Melrose in honor of the release of the Kinsey DVD.
