Hundreds see controversial "Bodies" exhibition in one day

Hundreds of people came to see the controversial exhibition called "Bodies... the Exhibition" on Saturday, the day it opened at Prague's Lucerna Palace. The exhibition, seen by some 16 million viewers worldwide, features human bodies and body parts preserved using plastic. Organisers have suggested that the aim of the show is to allow visitors to see up-close the inner workings of the human body. According to the Aktualne.cz news server, the exhibition has been condemned by the Czech Anatomical Society which has called it "sensationalist and outrageous". The exhibition will last in Prague until September of this year.
