★★★★★a month agoFascinating and a little nauseating! Welcoming staff and exhilarating exhibitions. Thank you Simon for welcoming us in 😁 Went with my partner and had a great time, good break from the current heatstroke... Bring good shoes and a water bottle if its warm when you go, we spent around 2 hours in here

★★★★★3 months ago🫀 I really enjoyed visiting Body Worlds Amsterdam. It’s very educational and gives a fascinating insight into the human body and health. At times it can feel a bit bizarre, but that’s also part of what makes it so unique. The exhibition could be a little bigger, but overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend it!
