Prostitutes may take advantage of free entry to the controversial "Body Worlds" exhibition in Hamburg. "I want to accommodate the environment a bit," the show's initiator, Gunther von Hagens announced shortly before the opening on Friday in the former "Erotic Art Museum" on the infamous Reeperbahn. Taxi drivers won't have to pay either to get into the exhibition that shows plasticized corpses and body parts and has already drawn crowds throughout the world, as well as censure from offended church officials. The prostitutes must show their health certificates to prove they are indeed professionals.
