Prostitutes offered free admission to Body Worlds
Prostitutes in Hamburg are being offered free entry to the controversial Body Worlds exhibition.
The exhibition is taking place in the city's former Erotic Art Museum in Hamburg's red light district, the Reeperbahn.
Gunther von Hagens, the man behind the exhibition, said prostitutes and taxi drivers would be granted free entry into the show.
He said: "I wanted to adjust my show a bit to the area it is shown in and decided to let prostitutes go in for free."
The exhibition has been branded "obscene" by the Catholic Church in Germany as the bodies on display include a "plastinated" pregnant woman with her unborn child inside her womb.
Von Hagens latest exhibit is a man with an erection, entitled Early Bird. He said: "That's something every healthy man can relate to and it's happened to all of us in the mornings and occasionally in the evenings."
The exhibition consists of bodies which have been pumped with preservative plastics and then cut open to reveal what is inside.
One of the most popular figures is a man riding a rearing horse - the body of the animal having also been preserved and partially dissected.
