Guben: Der Plastinator und seine Leichen - stern.de ‘Dr. Death’ opens permanent show in Guben
17 November 2006
Guben, Germany (dpa) - Gunther von Hagens, the German anatomist who has taken his controversial collection of resin-soaked human bodies around the world, opened Thursday a body factory and permanent exhibition in a small German town.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Asia, Europe and the Americas have shuddered at the artful poses of skinned, semi-dissected corpses of people and animals at von Hagens' Body Worlds exhibitions.
In a 1,000-square-metre workshop that is viewable for a fee, staff can be watched as they embalm and "plastinate" the dead. Skeletons hang from the ceiling, the shelves are full of skulls and human parts await processing.
