Gunther von Hagens has opened a shop selling plasticised limbs and body cuts in his own "cabinet of horrors."
Known as "Dr Death" Von Hagens is best known for his series of televised autopsies and for preserving human bodies using a special plastic solution, the items in his shop will be sold to medical proffessionals for study and research.
The body shop opened at Dr von Hagens's Plastinarium in the eastern German city of Guben. The wares include plastinated pieces of everything from ducks and giraffes to crocodiles and humans. A chunk of a human head will set you back £1,400 while a cross-section of human body costs £14,000.
