Controversial "Bodies" exhibition opens in Prague

The controversial exhibition called "Bodies... the Exhibition" seen by some 16 million viewers has opened at Prague's Lucerna Palace in the city centre. The exhibition features preserved human bodies and body parts. According to organisers "human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber that is treated and hardened". Organisers have suggested that the aim of the show is to allow visitors to see up-close the inner workings of the human body. The exhibition will last in Prague until September of this year.
