Full description

It's what's on the inside that counts

The BODY WORLDS Amsterdam exhibitions have undergone significant changes and taken on different incarnations throughout the years. From the effects of health, sports, and diet to the anatomy of animals, BODY WORLDS Amsterdam has been reinventing itself over and over again and educating people by taking a look beneath the skin.

The exhibitions are the creation of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who invented the process of plastination at the University of Heidelberg in 1977. The original exhibitions have been the subject of imitation by countless copycats, but they remain unmatched in terms of quality and innovation.

The current theme in Amsterdam is The Happiness Project and focuses on the effects of happiness on our well-being. This exhibit has more than 200 real human bodies on display, which will show you how our mood can affect our health and vice versa.
