BODY WORLDS Amsterdam

This guide to BODY WORLDS Amsterdam starts with Gunther von Hagens, a young East German who was jailed for trying to flee across the Austrian border in 1969 and later bought free by West Germany. It follows him to Heidelberg, where in 1977 he invented plastination, the process that replaces water and fat in tissue with resin, and traces the exhibition he built from it, opening in Tokyo in 1995. You'll also hear about the questions raised in Novosibirsk in 2002, when prosecutors examined where some of the bodies he displayed had come from.
