Body Worlds

More than five million people have seen this controversial exhibition which arrives in Berlin after stops in Austria, Japan and a number of other German cities. Condemned as unethical by some members of the church, 'Körperwelten' shows human corpses which have been stripped of their skin and preserved using a special technique developed by German doctor, Gunther von Hagens. It provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the human body by exposing the connections between organs, muscles, bones and nerve endings.
