We visited this beautiful museum during a weekend in Amsterdam. We didn't know what to expect, but what a educational and beautiful and respectfully arranged museum this is. The bodies are beautifully preserved, but all the organs are also nice to see, and especially the explanation on the accompanying signs is super educational. Here you not only learn things about the human body, but you can also actually see the things that are being explained. For us, this was the highlight of our weekend away. And actually, everyone working in healthcare should visit this museum.
Dear Jeroen, Thank you for the wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re very happy to hear that you found the museum so educational, interesting and respectfully presented.

Kind regards
This is a superb exhibition if you are interested in the human body and anatomy. It was so fascinating and informative. Easy to find in the heart of Amsterdam. There are six level which are walked through all about the human body (disabled access for wheelchairs is excellent) . We also got the audio guide which was worth it and gave you some extra insight. This exhibition is a must see and highly recommended.

I have wanted to visit a body worlds for many years and was blown away by the plastinates on show. It is an excellent exhibition and very educational. The only down side was that there was no programme or educational materials to purchase at the end.
Dear Becky, Thank you for the amazing review! We’re so happy you finally got to visit us and that the plastinates made such an impression on you. It’s wonderful to know you found the experience educational and interesting. We hope you enjoyed exploring the exhibition from start to finish!
A truly very interesting visit! I particularly appreciated the scientific approach of the museum, especially the parallel between diseases and well-being, with a reflection on health and happiness. Because of my profession, I did not necessarily learn a huge amount, but seeing the human body in such an explicit way gives a very concrete and impressive vision of how it functions. Contrary to what one might imagine, the visit is never creepy or unhealthy: everything is presented with a genuine educational and scientific approach. The museum is clean, well-organized, and large enough to spend 2 to 2.5 hours there if you take the time to read everything. Small downside: several interactive installations were out of order (impedance scales, swings, blood pressure cuffs...), which is a shame and deserves to be replaced. The museum seems suitable for a fairly wide audience, even if children must be accompanied. Biology, science, or medicine enthusiasts will certainly get even more out of it... The most conservative or easily shocked minds might have a less enjoyable time! 😄 For me, it is clearly a must-do visit in Amsterdam.
Dear guest, Thank you for the thoughtful review and for sharing so many details about your visit. We are happy you enjoyed the scientific and educational approach and found the museum clean and well organised. We also appreciate your comments about the interactive displays and will share them with the team. Thank you for recommending us! Kind regards
