🧠 Body Worlds Amsterdam: A journey under your own skin
Discover the secrets of the human body at Body Worlds Amsterdam – an exhibition that literally gets under your skin. This unique human body exhibition Amsterdam takes you on an impressive journey through the human body, exhibiting real, preserved bodies in a scientific as well as artistic way.
Unlike traditional museums, this one is not about art or history, but about you. Every organ, muscle and nerve tells the story of what makes us human. The exhibition shows how our emotions, lifestyle and choices affect our health, happiness and longevity.
A learning and inspiring experience
Body Worlds Amsterdam is not a creepy exhibition, but an educational museum Amsterdam that provides insight into the wonder of the human body. The exhibition is based on decades of research by Dr. Gunther von Hagens, the creator of the revolutionary plastination technique. Thanks to this method, real bodies and organs are preserved in perfect condition, allowing visitors to view them in a safe and respectful manner.
The exhibition in Amsterdam is titled The Happiness Project and explores the influence of happiness on our health. Why does laughter make us better? What does stress do to our brains? And how do we keep body and mind in balance? Body Worlds invites visitors to reflect on these questions – with wonder, respect and curiosity.
As an educational museum Amsterdam, Body Worlds aims to not only inform visitors, but also make them think. The exhibition is designed in collaboration with doctors, psychologists and biologists, explaining complex processes in an accessible way. From heartbeat to hormones – everything is made understandable with interactive examples, making knowledge come alive instantly.
For young, old and curious
The museum is designed to inspire visitors of all ages. With interactive displays, videos and multi-level explanations, it is an interactive anatomy museum that is both educational and engaging. Learn how the heart beats, how muscles work together and how small choices in diet and exercise can have enormous impact.
For families with children, Body Worlds offers a playful yet educational way to learn more about health, biology and anatomy. Students and professionals in the medical field, on the other hand, will find depth and inspiration.
Combine knowledge with relaxation
Body Worlds is located on the Damrak, just a few minutes’ walk from Amsterdam Central Station – the perfect location to combine your museum visit with a Kinboat canal cruise. After exploring the real human body exhibit, board our electric boats and see the city from the water.
This way you combine science with relaxation, and discover both the inside of man and the heart of Amsterdam.
