Body Worlds Vital, an exhibition that shows the human body in all its perfections and imperfections, has just opened in Zagreb's Family Mall, and will run until February 17.

On the eve of the opening, a presentation was given by curator Dr Angelina Whalley, director of the Institute for Plastination, the process designed to preserve the body for educational and instructional purposes.

This is the method used by the German anatomist Gunther von Hagens, creator of the plastination method, which has allowed him to take his exhibition around the world. This is the first time it has come to Croatia.  

Admission costs €12 online, €9 for under-18s, €6 for under-10s. The website is Croatian-only but ticket purchase should be relatively straightforward for the date you require.

Body Worlds Vital, Family Mall, Ulica Velimira Škorpika 11B, 10000 Zagreb. Daily 10am-8pm.
