Amazing, loved all the happiness related info. especially. Great layout. Informative. Easy to navigate. Interesting facts.

I saw this many years ago in London, but still interesting when taking my teen to see it. I don’t remember the people being in poses before so think it is updated. There were couple of bits not working, like the blood pressure monitors (said flat battery although it looked like it was in power), something else on one of the floors, however the main interactive body scan bit was working. Printer ink was running out but it was just readable. All in all a good few hours interesting activity.

We really enjoyed this museum, there was so much to see and it was fascinating seeing the different body parts and what different illnesses and broken bones looked like. We went later on in the day and had the museum pretty much to ourselves, which also helped improve our experience. Would really recommend this museum, especially if you're interested in anatomy.

Very interesting exhibit and took longer than we expected (not a bad thing!). You do have to pay 1 euro to put your bag in a locker as you are not allowed them in the exhibit but they are spacious enough for 2 small rucksacks. You start the experience at the top floor and work your way down, we would recommend reading all the information as it really explains what you are seeing, we found the part on dementia particularly interesting!
tomrM2500DL
Incredible, this is a unique insight into the human body that most of us would never have the privilege to see. We had been lucky to catch the exhibition on tour a few years ago, but this was even better. Thank you to all those who have selflessly donated their bodies to this incredible experience.

Really interesting and unique experience. Particularly enjoyed the different specimens relating to different pathologies. Definitely worth a visit as you won’t see anything like this anywhere else. Myself and my friend went late at night and there was no queue and minimal people inside, which made it relaxing to walk around and view the exhibits at our leisure.

That was amazing and interesting place. Worth seeing! We enjoyed looking and learning something new, especially our son who wish to be a doctor.

we received an excellent servive and information from Enes and Arjen, you have visit it, its worth it!!! They both deserve a beer after their shifts.

It was interesting to see the specimens , but there weren’t a lot of correlations with happiness. I expected more, taking into account the introduction of the museum.
Travellingsyrup
Really interesting museum with a fantastic layout. Had a good laugh at some things and learnt a lot about the body. The scan at the end was also super cool to see your own body percentage etc. This place has lockers for bags also for €2 which is super helpful if you've been out and about all day.

Very pleased with how helpful Arjen and carn at body works was. They helped guide us with our tickets and everything to expect once we got inside thank you so much.

Sensational 10 out of 10 very informative exhibition and as for the man himself Arjen a true gentleman and thanks for the selfie A tick of the bucket list of things to do and see in Amsterdam 👍👍👍💯💯💯

An absolute must, especially if interested in anatomy, biology, science or are medical. The exhibition is well displayed with a vast amount of information but also lots of visual things and videos to watch, also some more interactive things rather than just reading everything. We spent 3 hours reading everything. A good meaning behind the exhibition. Would highly recommend if you have a genuine interest. Suprised at the amount of people that attended just to walk up to the displays, take a photo, then walk off. Why attend if not interested in understanding what you're looking at? Nothing to suggest photos not allowed but I feel they shouldn't be as it seems disrespectful.
ClaireB425
Wow, amazing. Interesting facts, and bodies on display. We stayed 2hrs going through the 6 levels of facts. Maybe baby section should have a warning

Great and friendly welcome by Arjen! Interesting experience. Nice teambuilding activity. Will come back soon, looking forward to it.
braddT9599SP
We went as wr have a discount via the I amsterdam cards. We liked the way you started at the top and worked you're way down the building, the exhibitions them self were very intriguing and informative.

Had an amazing experience!!!! It said the average experience is 1 hr or an 1hr and a half, we spent 3 hrs in there as there was just so much to read and see!!! If you're into science and how the body works this is defiantly something you should see. I probably wouldn't take kids with me as they'd get bored but it all depends on what you've got planned for the day. ARJEN answered all queries and discoveries we had adding to the experience further.

Visited Body Worlds as part of our Amsterdam trip. We had one of these in London but it suddenly closed down so never got to visit it. The price of our visit was £19.21 each. The experience it self is amazing and definitely an eye opener. You can see the multiple working ways of the human body from the veins, the nervous system to the brain. The way the bodies have been positioned is amazing and very interesting to see. A word of warning, there is a part within here with shows bodies of babies and the functions of pregnancy etc. There are also examples of a foetus from 9 weeks through the end of pregnancy. I know some people may find this distressing; as i witnessed whilst i was there however it is also very interesting to see but i guess it’s worth knowing as that is not really advertised. When i visited once i don’t think i would visit again unless a new exhibition opens.
karohelga
This was, by far ! The most amazing experience. So increadable, enlighting and I loved the theme of the museum, happiness and simpler life. We live to fast and have to much!

What an incredible experience. So much information about the human body with a variety of exhibits. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Amsterdam. Arjen was very helpful and welcoming. Greetings from Wales.
suehD2099VE
Both my partner and I loved our visit. It was so interesting to see so much of the inner workings of the human body, and the size and shape of numerous organs, blood vessels etc. It was sometimes annoyingly rowdy in some rooms with people talking loudly so we hovered at displays waiting for quieter times as there’s a lot to read and absorb. Grateful thanks to people/families who donated bodies to provide a learning experience for us. We spent 2 hours in the museum as we had somewhere else to be, but would’ve stayed longer had we been able to.
DinDanie
Such a fun-tastic tour of the museum! I expected much less, and I was amazed to see how much I didn't know, how much I've learned a out the human body, thing I should have known a long time ago. Thank you, Arjen, for recommending us to go inside. Thank you!
tezpil
We were here in September and just turned up and got tickets on the door, no queue and not busy inside. A great exhibition that is well presented and very informative, take as long as you want with each floor explaining a different aspect of the body. Take time to read the inspirational quotes and don't forget to do the body analysis at the end and get your free print out.
ruthfrans7
We visited Body Worlds with our kids (aged 9, 13, 14, 15, 16). It was interesting for all of us! Beautiful and intriguing. The body scan at the end was a great addition. Tks Arjen for your recommendation.
margaretpS7106TP
My friend and I came across Bodyworld whilst walking through Amsterdam, I had heard of this place and wanted to take a look. Arjen on the door was very likeable and funny, he encouraged us to go inside and very glad we did, it was very informative. We took a lift up to the sixth floor and worked our way down through the floors. I learned how the brain deteriorates through dementia, saw the workings of new hip joints and knee joints, the difference between an ordinary spleen and an enlarged spleen, and how important it is not to smoke, to be healthy and most importantly, to be happy! Very interesting place, there's something for everyone to learn
jessicaaT1171FN
Really interesting and informative exhibition! We were worried it was going to be quite gimmicky but it was the complete opposite! Each floor had different focus points and a good variety of plastinations to view and written information. I would definitely recommend a visit here when Amsterdam.
Culture64021761563
Super interesting exhibition and very friendly staff. Especially Arjen, really lovely and funny dude! best regards, SQ
duffinb
Incredible exhibit with really eye opening displays. Taking the time to read all of the information really takes the purpose of this place to another level. Only point to note - my partner and I read all the information and were here for about 1.5 hours so don’t plan to make a visit for a whole morning or afternoon.
briangB4586MK
Very interesting and great way to get to experience the human body. We enjoyed seeing the insides of our fellow man. Didn't think it was gory or grotesque and I would take my kids here if they were with. Only minus is there could have been more, we were definitely not "done" after walking through the entire exhibit.

Such an interesting place to visit. Sam on the front desk was incredibly helpful with info on it and places to visit. She was so polite, friendly and cheery to us and all around
stevenaM3344OP
Very very interesting . I had to keep reminding myself that the exhibits used to be alive . No matter that I have seen the exhibition already , I would visit again
louise_hinton
Totally worth a visit. The older guy, with a name beginning with A needs a special mention… he could not have been nicer.
alibO5300KM
Fascinating. Informative and the use of donated bodies further backed up the explanations of human habits (such as smoking) and medical diagnoses. Process of plastination explained well. Physical health was tied in well with impacts on mental health and overall well-being. Worth a visit!

Really interesting and well explained. Arjen who sold us our tickets was super friendly and helpful.
Travel43885954043
Auf den ersten Blick wirkt alles sehr gruselig, da die Präparate von echten Menschen stammen und völlig anders als im Internet aussehen. Dennoch ist es auf jeden Fall eine Erfahrung wert, vor allem für jene, die sich für Medizin und den Körper begeistern. Sobald man die ersten zwei Bereiche fertig hat, werden die Angst und Angespanntheit glücklicherweise immer weniger und man könnte Stunden an den einzelnen Kästen verbringen. Das Museum liegt nur ein paar Meter vom Dam entfernt und ist super zu erreichen, von daher ist es auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert.

Interessant museum waar veel je leert over het menselijk lichaam. We werden geholpen door Arjan vriendelijke en attente man. Gaf goede informatie

Een mooi museum met een prachtig concept,je komt alles te weten over je lichaam op een originele en leerrijke manier Heel fascinerend

Elk jaar maak ik als docent Medische Basiskennis met studenten van Shenzhou Open University in Amsterdam en HVNA Opleidingen in Arnhem een excursie naar Body Worlds. Zo ook op 11 april dit jaar. De reservering was gemakkelijk gemaakt. Bij aankomst vriendelijk en behulpzaam te woord gestaan door medewerker Arjen. De plastinaten zijn niet alleen kunstzinnig, maar voor mijn studenten prima instructie-/onderwijsmateriaal. Belichting van 'Happiness' (ondertitel van de expositie) was voor deze doelgroep niet van belang. Ik komen volgend jaar graag weer terug met een nieuwe groep studenten.

Super interessante tour gehad. Samen met mijn meiden ( 13 en 9 jaar). Een shoutout naar de "roze zeur aan de deur Arjen". Mijn meiden vonden je hilarisch :)

L'exposition bodyworlds se trouve au coeur d'Amsterdam, à mi-chemin entre la gare centrale et la place Dam. L'entrée coûte 22.5 € par personne. Le musée se décompose en plusieurs zones thématiques réparties sur 7 étages. L'exposition des corps est fascinante, la technique de plastination mise au point par un scientifique allemand permet de rendre les structures humaines visibles et bien conservées. Des parties anatomiques saines versus malades permettent de bien nous rendre compte des effets néfastes des substances toxiques sur le corps humain (tabac, alcool, graisse, etc.). Au-delà du côté "voyeuriste" que ce genre d'endroit peut apporter, il faut pouvoir voir plus loin et comprendre l'intérêt pédagogique de ce travail concernant la santé, comment en prendre soin et tenter de préserver au maximum son corps. La thématique du bien-être et bonheur en lien avec l'exposition est assez didactique. Tous les aspects du corps humain, a côté du fonctionnement "normal" de cette usine sont abordés tels que la sexualité, la vie maritale, les facultés cognitives, le sport, la réflexion, etc. L'entrée est assez chère et c'est dommage. De plus, certaines vitrines et dioramas mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement car on pourrait presque trouver un aspect un peu vieillot. Des appareils à tension ne fonctionnant pas tous devraient être remplacés. A la fin, il y a une partie où vous pouvez faire une analyse complète de votre corps (poids, masse de graisse, muscle, etc.) et c'est très instructif. Une attraction non incontournable mais qui mérite le coup d'oeil si l'anatomie humaine vous intéresse. Prévoir 1h30 à 2h de visite.
ChristievanZ
Heel Indrukwekkend en leerzaam. Hier zie je hoe vernuftig een mens in elkaar zit. En hoe weinig je eigenlijk over je lijf weet. Een echte aanrader. Mijn complimenten ook aan Enes die ons fantastisch geholpen heeft onze vouchers om te zetten naar tickets.
marionmH6293BU
Sehr schöne und sehenswerte Ausstellung. Das Schwerpunktthema "Glück" ist toll umgesetzt. Der Mitarbeiter ARJEN an der Kasse war ganz besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit. Dank Arjen.
dg0vers1
Waanzinnig! Super interessant, zo bijzonder en leerzaam om te zien en te lezen. Zeker de moeite waard. Jammer dat personeel weinig interesse toont, bij binnenkomst wordt niets gezegd en als je iets vraagt blijkt dat er niet eens Nederlands wordt gesproken. Bij het weggaan zitten er 2 met de telefoon te spelen en te lachen.

Fascinant, intrigant et très pédagogique Les corps sont splendides, notamment le visage découpé et les embryons. L’audio guide est nécessaire et les informations sont pertinentes Seul bémol: les tensiomètres ne marchaient pas
Wolter_CH
Al bij de ingang werden wij enthousiast ontvangen door medewerker Arjen, die met onze kinderen besprak wat goed of slecht was voor je lichaam Dit inleidende gesprekje plaatste ons hele bezoek in een goed perspectief: geen sensatie, maar een superinteressante kennismaking met de menselijke anatomie, fysiologie en hoe je gezond kunt leven. Aanrader!

Tout a déjà été dit. Nous avions déjà vu Our Body à Corps ouvert en 2008 et nous souhaitions revivre cette expérience avec nos enfants. Aucune déception sur l'expo d'Amsterdam qui est complète et ludique. Je recommande de prendre l'audio guide en français sinon il est moins évident de suivre le fil conducteur (the effect of happiness on our lives and bodies). Gros bémol (et j'ai eu beaucoup de mal à apprécier la visite!): un groupe de scolaires et un groupe d'adultes sans audio guides qui se promenaient dans le musée sans aucun respect des autres visiteurs. Le bruit était insupportable et cela a vraiment gâché l'ensemble. Le musée mériterait de faire circuler des conservateurs qui fassent respecter les conditions de visite ou peut-être indiquer que le silence/ la discrétion sont de mise dans ce genre de lieu pédagogique...
mariekevJ7535JK
Heel interessant! Over geluk, wat roken met je longen doet, over het bloedvatenstelsel, over bewegen, enz, enz. Arjen bedankt voor de goede service.
valentinamT738TX
Esperienza molto carina, le opere erano veramente dettagliate del corpo umano, abbiamo potuto vedere parti del corpo come il cuore, apparato digerente, in modi interattivi e divertenti. Non è un’esperienza noiosa per niente

Super goede aankomt door Arjen en Sam! Ontzettend naar ons zin gehad. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!!
zygomatek
Une façon très ludique de découvrir le fonctionnement du fabuleux corps humain. C'est une expérience basée sur la plastination. Nous avons donc pu observer de vrais corps humains !! C'est fascinant ! Et la cerise sur gâteau : nous nous sommes trompés lors de notre réservation d'établissement, nous avions sélectionné le body Worlds d'Allemagne. C'est à l'accueil, au moment de rentrer que nous avons compris notre erreur Arjen, un responsable de l'établissement de Belgique. Face à notre déception, surtout celles des enfants, il a été fort compréhensif et nous a laissé exceptionnellement rentrer. Quel bon coeur ! Merci tout plein Arjen, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir dans votre lieu unique.
