Description

Discover what lies beneath your skin at BODY WORLDS: The Happiness Project Amsterdam. This fascinating exhibition takes you on an unforgettable journey through the human body, featuring more than 200 real plastinated bodies and anatomical specimens.

During this unique anatomical journey, you will explore 7 levels, each revealing a different aspect of the human body. The current theme in BODY WORLDS Amsterdam is The Happiness Project, exploring how happiness affects our well-being and how our body and mind are closely connected. Together, all seven floors reveal insights into the question: what determines whether we are truly happy or not?

Explore real muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and organs, and discover how they work together to keep your body moving. The plastinated bodies are displayed in dynamic poses, revealing the muscles and structures involved in everyday movements — from jumping and dancing to playing the saxophone.

After your visit to BODY WORLDS, enjoy an hour-long cruise on the UNESCO-listed canal district of Amsterdam. Sail through the city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal ring and admire the elegant canal houses from the Dutch Golden Age, spot historic churches like the Westerkerk, and glide under charming bridges including the famous Magere Brug. Sit back and relax on this 1-hour canal cruise that takes you along some of the historic waterways and listen to the GPS audioguide, available in 19 languages, to learn interesting information about iconic landmarks such as the Westerkerk, "Skinny Bridge" and the charming Negen Straatjes neighborhood.
