Body Worlds Exhibition Opens In Berlin

BERLIN, GERMANY - FEBRUARY 18: Plastinated corpses look into a mirror on the opening day of the Bodyworlds (Koerperwelten) exhibition in the Menschen Museum (Human Museum) on February 18, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The latest incarnation of anatomist Gunther von Hagens' exhibition of plastinated human bodies, installed permanently under the Berlin television tower (Fernsehturm) at the city's central Alexanderplatz square, opened after a local court ruled that the while the specimens preserved by a process that replaces natural human material with a synthetic resin do in fact count as corpses, they do not violate burial codes. Organisers say more than 15,000 people, predominently from von Hagens' own country of Germany, have agreed to donate their own bodies to his exhibitions. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
