Inside the factory where tourists dissect bodies

Attracting some 38 million visitors since it launched in 2004, Body Worlds has become the world's biggest travelling tourist attraction.

The exhibitions – which are not for the fainthearted – consist of artfully displayed preserved human and animal bodies.

But at the border of Germany and Poland where Body World’s has its headquarters, tourists can also take a scalpel and participate in a dissection as Christa Larwood discovers.
