The current theme in Amsterdam is The Happiness Project and focuses on the effects of happiness on our well-being. This exhibit has more than 200 real human bodies on display that were preserved with the process of plastination. They will show you how our physical health can affect our mood and vice versa.

The BODY WORLDS Amsterdam exhibitions have undergone crucial changes and taken on different forms throughout the years. From the effects of health, sports, and diet to the anatomy of animals, BODY WORLDS Amsterdam has been reinventing itself over and over again and educating people by taking a look beneath the skin.

The exhibitions are the creation of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who invented the process of plastination at the University of Heidelberg in 1977. The original exhibitions remain unmatched in terms of quality and innovation, although they have been the subject of imitation by countless copycats in the past.
