Plastified zombie freaks to invade May 10

Gunther Von Hagen's Body Worlds 2 is on its way to town May 10 to September 16 at the Montreal Science Center, King Edward Pier, Quays corner St. Lawrence and Common.  
Von Hagen first plastified the human body in 1977 and has been putting it on controversial display for several years. This display showcases 200 body specimens, including 20 entire plastified bodies.

Vancouver is already hosting the next version of this series.

Von Hagen's dad was an SS Nazi, Gunther grew up & tried to escape East Germany and got out in 1970. He has since left Germany permanently due to legal hassles.
