"A copy of Vincent van Gogh's ear grown using genetic material from one of the Dutch artist's relatives has gone on display at a German museum. Artist Diemut Strebe made the replica using living cells from Lieuwe van Gogh, the great-great-grandson of Vincent's brother Theo. The cells were then shaped using a 3D printer to resemble the ear Van Gogh is to said to have cut off in 1888. The exhibit at the Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe runs until 6 July."
