Smaller but still educational

Shu_C, Dec 2025

Not sure why there was even a controversy when these exhibits first started. I have been to a few of these museums starting in 1999 in Germany, and all the exhibits were well presented, this one in Amsterdam is no exception. It’s a bit smaller than others, but still very well organized and detailed explanations attached to each exhibits.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Shu, Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit and found the exhibits educational and well presented. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the organisation and detailed explanations. We hope to see you again on a future visit! Kind regards, Body Worlds Amsterdam

Worth an hour if you have time

Nik_O, Dec 2025

Something I was definitely looking forward to forward to exploring, on entering told it starts on level 6 and lifts to the side, no other explanation. Not as big as expected but interesting to see it all. Definitely worth visiting but even taking our time we were done in just over an hour.

Interesting and insightful

Hannah_I, Oct 2025

Fascinating to see up close and the cross sections of bodies and a good way to spend an evening on holiday rather than sitting in a hotel room. 10yr old boy liked it too although not much reading going on!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Hannah, Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted that you found the exhibition fascinating and that it made for an interesting evening activity for both you and your son. It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring the human body up close in such an engaging way. Kind regards

Phenomenal!

Amazing time, absolutely fascinating to see and read! I’ve studied anatomy but seeing it changes perspectives

EDMON_Q, Jun 2025

its was amazing to go deep in to your own body and see the details we spent around 2 hours in the museum

A must as it’s so different !

nina_f, Jun 2025

So interesting & different and well worth the money. Set out really well and takes well over an hour to look round.

Just okay

Mark_H, Apr 2025

Interesting but limited number of displays. We had higher expectations that weren’t met. We would not return.

Brilliant few hours, amazing exabit ions.

Patricia_M, Mar 2025

This is brilliant. We learnt so much and we are health care providers! Arjen and Kostis were very inviting and interested in what we had gained from the experience. They made the experience extra special.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Patricia, Thank you for your lovely review! We are so happy that your visit was great. We hope that you learnt plenty of new information about your body, your mind, and yourself. Hope to see you very soon! Kind regards, Body Worlds

Great experience

Emma_M, Jan 2025

Great experience. Been twice now. Would recommend to people of all ages. Very educational and surreal!

Interesting exhibition

Amanda_B, Dec 2024

Very interesting, particularly if you want to know about a certain body part, how it works etc. we learned a lot

Okay

Emily_H, Oct 2024

Full body forms were amazing. It can get a little crowded. The information was in English and Dutch so that was helpful.

Was it interesting? Not sure, and not really something I would recommend.

Leroy_B, Aug 2024

I don't know about an hour and a half, we were round in less than 30 minutes. If you've seen a few pictures you have pretty much seen the whole thing could have been contained in a quarter of the space.

Very informative

Katherine_M, Aug 2024

This is such an amazing place to visit. If you like to know about the human body this place tells and shows all you need to know. The models are fantastic and really imaginative . Highly recommended

Great experience

Kate_R, Aug 2024

Really fascinating and informative. Its a must of the you go to Amsterdam! Be warned if you get a little squeamish it might not be for you

Interesting bodies!

Paul_J, Jul 2024

Very interesting visit, well worth looking at .The layout was fine, was helpful in exploring anatomy..

Fantastic experience! I appreciate my body more now then ever after this experience!

Aaron_I, Jul 2024

Absolutely a must do experience if you work in the medical field. Actually anyone for that matter! You'll learn and appreciate your body so much more after doing this experience. Highly recommend to all!

Very good

Susan_S, Jul 2024

Fascinating and lots of interesting data. Not for everyone particularly if squeamish. Best for analytical and curious minds !

Very interesting, a pretty special experience!

JeanPaul_N, Jul 2024

We were not really sure what to expect, but this turned out to be very interesting for all 4 of us (seniors 80, 72, 71, 69). Learning about the process of plasticization and seeing the insides of a lady who had a shoulder, a hip and a knee replacement was fantastic.

It was brill

deanna_S, May 2024

Amazing place , was so interesting to see , defo must see , wasnt sure what i was expecting but i really enjoyed it

Worth an hour if you are looking for something to do in Amsterdam

Gregory_B, Apr 2024

Very enlightening. If you are interested in the human body and how it works, this will be worth the time.

Life as it really is. What makes us work, mentally and physically.

Vivienne_A, Oct 2023

My daughter is studying for A level biology and was delighted as it was like a revision session for her.

DON'T MISS THIS!!!!!

Wayne_S, Sep 2023

Want incentive to change an unhealthy lifestyle? Want to be truly amazed at how fearfully and wonderfully made you are? Go to this exhibit! I was blown away by the intricacies of the human body that were displayed and explained. This was one of those exhibits one has to see to really appreciate. Actual bodies that had been donated to science were used to show you just what is packed so efficiently into your body and how well it is designed to do what it does, providing you take proper care of it!

Okay

Susan_E, Aug 2023

Very interesting. Staff on the reception not very helpful and there were 2 of them not doing a great deal. The body scan did not work

Good morning out

Philip_H, Jul 2023

Getting the tickets and going to the show was very easy. The body worlds show was really good! I would do it again.

Anatomy of happiness

krista_k, Jun 2023

Interesting and informative! Thankful for the donors and to the creators of the exhibit. Much better than any textbook for an understanding of the human experience of life and what we make of it.
