In the Netherlands there is an anatomical museum of enormous proportions. Museum of the human body in the Netherlands - description and photo. Useful information for tourists in Amsterdam

The Museum of the Human Body in the Netherlands is unusual in that visitors can travel inside a huge replica of the human body. Outside, it is made in the form of a giant statue of a seated man 35 m high.

Excursion inside the human body

Once inside, you can go around all the internal organs, jump on your tongue, touch your teeth, walk along the kidney, etc. An escalator takes visitors upstairs, this is done starting from the knee of the statue. Mechanisms have been created that mimic the appearance of erythrocytes and leukocytes. Hydraulics move various muscles.

Once in the uterus, the visitor can see the fertilization of the egg by the sperm on the screen and in 3D. And in the stomach and intestines, where simulated digestion takes place, it is a little uncomfortable to be.

The work of the heart and lungs, the functioning of the liver - all these processes are clearly demonstrated inside the statue, covered with metal on the outside. And the special noises that accompany the work of the internal organs of a person only enhance the effect of presence.

The Museum of the Human Body in the Netherlands allows you to see with your own eyes other elements that allow you to see how a splinter that has penetrated the skin is attacked, destroying microbes on it.

The final route of travel through the human body for museum visitors is the head. In the mouth, you can sit on your teeth, and on them even the remnants of food in the form of dummies.

Pass into the ear or nose, where you can be present at the moment of sneezing. In the eye, you can see on videos the focusing of light on fiber and other vision processes. When viewing the brain, visitors receive stereoscopic glasses. They are needed to view a colorful performance - the work of the main human organ.

HLS: a healthy lifestyle

After all the examinations of the inside of a person, the tourists are invited to the hall, where employees talk about management, healthy eating and offer museum visitors to take tests indicating their state of health.

After all the impressions received from examinations while traveling inside the human body as a huge model, people want to know something about their own body. This is where the medical workers of the museum help them. Children are also allowed to visit it, but from the age of eight. Entrance for all paid. Exhibits can be touched.

They created the "Corpus" for a year and a half, and 27 million dollars were spent on construction. The same museum is planned to be created in other countries as a cognitive tool of human anatomy and physiology.

It is enough to see colorful pictures of the functioning of internal organs to think about the harm that is sometimes done to each individual's body. The smoker decides to quit smoking, and the abuser decides to quit drinking. The one to whom food is not as important as the timely hours of breakfast, lunch and dinner will think about quality nutrition.

Museum Corpus in Leiden: how to get there

The museum complex "Korpus" is located in the town of Uchstheist (near Leiden) and is open from 9 am to 7 pm all days (except Mondays). The video clearly shows how to get to the museum.

A 35-meter steel statue of a man is inscribed on the left side of a 7-story building. During the exposition, modern technologies were applied; in 55 minutes of the tour, the visitor learns a lot about the work of the organs of his body, looking at the dummies. The audio guide accompanying the tourists with sounds in the museum also broadcasts in Russian.

travel plan: Keukenhof, Lelystad: Batavia shipyard and Aviadrom, Amsterdam, Githorn, Hull Museum, Leiden

Day 4 (May 15, 2016): Leiden including the Corpus Museum.
We are flying home late tonight. Therefore, in order not to go far, we left this day for Leiden itself. But, because on the first day we managed to see most of the planned sights, then in the free time we go to the museum Korpus, located on the outskirts of the city. While driving, we filmed such a wonderful kindergarten.

Museum "Korpus"- this is a kind of anatomical and physiological interactive museum of a person, where in a very simple visual-popular form it is explained how the human body functions. Museum in man, so to speak. And the name of the museum is "Corpus", in Dutch it means "body".
So, going up the escalator,


we enter a huge figure of a seated person and, as it were, get inside the human body in the region of the knee joint.

No photography is allowed in this part of the museum. Therefore, all the pictures are taken from the Internet.
Lenin: especially cynical and spoiled personalities, standing on an escalator that rises up and inside a seated figure, might think: “Yoyoyo, where are we going to drive now?” . An no. We drove into the knee joint.
I hasten to reassure cynical and spoiled personalities: we have visited the place that you so cynically and corruptly thought about.
And here we are standing among the muscles and tendons of the knee joint. And on the screen at this time, explanations begin about human movements through the anatomy and physiology of the work of the joints and muscles that connect them. Everyone has headphones, through which explanations are automatically switched on in parallel, in one of the languages ​​available in the museum, including Russian. And so, from system to system, we go up from the leg to the head and brain, passing through the digestive tract,

respiratory system, etc.


up to the very head.


Lenin: cynical and spoiled personalities would say here: "To the very tonsils."
The life support systems themselves are made of some kind of plastic and very plausibly reproduce the dummies we have seen and photographs in anatomy textbooks.


The group walks through the labyrinth of the human body completely alone, but in those places where there are any interactive displays

Or we have to climb from one "floor" of the body to another, a museum worker appears, who opens and closes the cradle-elevators. Usually in such places there is either a 3D show and / or even like in amusement parks with shaking. For example, in this way, together with red blood cells - erythrocytes, we went all the way from the left ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where they got rid of carbon dioxide and, having been enriched with oxygen, they carried oxygen through the right half of the heart to organs and tissues; and then through a vein completed their journey to the left side of the heart.


After 50 minutes, you go out into the halls of the museum, where the already studied information and more detailed details are again presented on the screens, for those who are interested.
In addition, there are also various physical and computerized games, as well as various puzzles on the body systems. We really liked the movie "The Theater of the Brain" about the various illusions that the brain sends us and what it is connected with. I think a lot of people got an e-mail with a movie with a ballerina spinning this way and that. It's from the same series. Or like this or like this.

Or there was an exercise bike where you choose the product you want to eat, and then you start pedaling, seeing on the screen how many calories you have eaten and how long you have worked. A healthy man sat next to us, who tried to work off 225 kilocalories of the selected piece of cake. So, despite the fact that he pedaled hard enough, in one minute he worked out only 3 (!!!) Kcal.
Or, interesting information that every minute our kidneys send 1 milliliter of urine to the bladder.

Lenin: hmm (chin scratching). And why did Lenchik remember exactly this information? (thought cynical and spoiled personalities)
In general, the museum is equally interesting for both adults and children, of which there are a lot. We spent about two hours here, but it could have been more if we didn't want to leave on a certain bus.
Lenin: I do not argue that the museum is good. But, in my opinion, for our level of education with you, it’s still rustic. Nah, the idea and execution is great. What bored me a little: it seemed to me that it was not enough interactivity. Those. not when you just press the buttons on the screen and get some kind of information (like milliliters of urine or the amount of air you breathe), but like the described “pedal, burn calories”.
In my opinion, the museum is worth a visit, but I wouldn’t go straight into it as a must-have. But I do not consider visiting it a waste of time.
Yes, cynical and spoiled personalities got in here with their offers of interactive games.
Well, for example, measure the speed when sneezing. They write that it reaches 100 km / h. But - it is written. And then to develop such speed yourself.
Or, for example, goosebumps. At what speed do they run?
How much force must be given to the forehead to see the birds? And the stars?
Who has more stomach rumblings. We check the drill and write what we ate. We create a database.
They write that hair can there FIG knows what mass to keep. a ton. Well, let's try. You hang upside down like that, and they hang pieces of iron from your hair. True, the hair can withstand a ton, but it is possible that the legs will pull out. Well, let's know from our own experience that hair is stronger than legs.
And completely cynical and spoiled personalities, having watched a film about reproduction (yes, it is shown in the place that these same personalities paid attention to) ... So these cynical and spoiled personalities offer the game “Feel like a lucky spermatozoon” for men.
For women, you can also come up with a game. Well, for example, "Happy egg".
Fantasy is needed. Fantasy.
And in Holland, with its laws on certain products, you can get a fantasy, I think, after a few puffs.
It is advisable to book tickets in advance on the museum's website, because. at the same time I let in small groups of about 16 people. If there are no tickets ordered through the website, then you can wait a long time until they let you in.
There is a direct bus number 37 from the Leiden railway station to the museum. In addition to the 37 bus, there is another bus, but it takes 12 minutes to get to the museum from it.
"The museum's website is rather clueless and only in Dutch. They looked for where to order tickets with a dictionary. There is one "trick" there. You can't order tickets for the same day. But we once ordered them at the beginning of the first night and the site sent us. tickets are already in the museum itself.I think the easiest way is to write to them through the site in English.

Returning to Leiden, we continue, begun three days ago inspection of the city. So in chronological order.
Leiden, 12 May (20:00 - 21:30)
Leiden is located at the confluence of two branches of the Rhine River,

therefore, it begins its history from Roman times.
Not far from the center, the remains of a Roman fort have been found. And later, at the confluence of the arms of the Rhine in the 9th century, a hill was poured ( Burg or fortress) is today the oldest landmark in Leiden.


If you climb up, you will see an extraordinary panorama of the beautiful city.

Until now, two keys are the symbol of the city, and their image can be seen everywhere: on the gables of houses, on bridges, towers, gates, on the building of the Latin school, the city hall, the weight chamber, on the coat of arms of the university. Sometimes Leiden is called the city of keys. According to one version, Leiden endured the most severe year-long siege and the Spaniards never received the keys to Leiden.

According to another, the apostle Peter kept two keys (gold and silver) from paradise, and it was these keys that became the symbol of the city.
Lenin: mmm... Such an interesting entry: “Leiden. May 12, 2016. 20 hours zero-zero minutes. Stirlitz is walking along the corridor...
But the music sounds and the characteristic goes (like here)

(In the voice of Kapelyan, of course)
Leiden. A city in the center of Holland at the confluence of rivers. The coat of arms has 2 keys. He was under siege, from which he left with a quarter. He was not noticed in the connections that discredited him. Many banks consider it an honor to be named Leiden. Very handsome. WODEN. University. Not married.

We started our tour of the city Port Gate Seaport, opening the entrance to Old city.

Through the narrow streets we reach the place where house where Rembrandt was born.

This is how the house that stood in this place looked like (the photo was taken through the window glass, so this is the quality)

In 1575, William I of Orange decided to reward Leiden for its heroic defense against the Spaniards and offered a choice of tax exemption or the founding of a university. Leiden chose the latter. Initially Leiden University was located in the former monastery of St. Barbara, then moved to the monastery of the "white sisters" on the Rapenburg canal (where the main building of the university is now located).


Leiden University is considered one of the oldest universities in Europe. Princes and princesses of the royal house of Orange still receive higher education here.
One of the faculties - law - is located in former Gravensteen prison.

No, really!


Lenin: The Faculty of Law is in a former prison, and on the square opposite there is a place of execution. The Dutch know a lot about sarcasm.
On the same square is Peterskerk church where the oldest tombstone in the Netherlands is located. For two days we passed by the church, and twice during these hours it was closed...

Enin: Peter holds _TWO_ keys in his hands. Nifiga for these _TWO_ days he did not use these _TWO_ keys. Then we went to look for Bar Camino Real.


Across the canal from it is the university building of the humanities faculties,


and ninety-nine percent of the beer-sipping audience are professors and their students discussing coursework and diplomas between couples. And how do you like it?


Lenin: Not this bar, but the Kaiser!!! Read below.
My version: On the Internet there is information about this bar and about the Kaiser, and you decide where you need to go.
Literally around the corner from the bar is the entrance to Botanical Garden (Hortus Botanicus) is the oldest in Holland. (were not) Few people know, but it was from here that the famous tulip began its triumphal procession across Europe.
Hogstracht Square is a popular place with floating terraces and restaurants.

Roof over stone bridge Korenbersbrug, where the dealers of the grain exchange gathered, was built in 1825 so that the dealers would not get wet in the rain.
Lenin: but dealers didn’t have money for themselves
My version: No, it's just that in the Netherlands the state takes care of the dealers.
On the other side of the square is house of weights and measures 17th century.

And here is our mill in daylight. It houses a museum of mills. At night, with the backlight, I already showed it.

Leiden, 15 March (15:00 - 18:30) Stirlitz is still walking down the corridor
Returning from the Museum Korpus, we continue to explore the city with boat trips through the canals of Leiden. (Duration of the tour - 50 minutes) Despite the cold (still the same 12°C) and windy day, the boat is closed from the wind and heated. By the way, in our hotel, as soon as the temperature dropped, they immediately turned on the heating. Quite by chance, we managed to buy tickets at a discount. While we were standing at the entrance to the pier and deciding: to go - not to go, a girl approached us and asked if we spoke English. Having received a positive response, she began to offer us a voucher giving a discount on the boat. Suspecting something was wrong, we began to find out why she sells it, and does not use it herself? It turned out that she does not sell, but gives away for free, because. they used another company. As a result, with this voucher we bought two tickets for the price of one, saving 10€.
Lenin: uh... you have to be thankful for such things. So thank you: thank you, beautiful stranger.
My version: I left the writing of gratitude to Lenin. I knew that he would definitely add.
We again looked at some of the sights already seen, as well as new ones, from the water, and also listened to the explanations of the audio guide. (there are explanations in several languages, including English).

And in Leiden there is a fairly new attraction: the poetry project "Poems on the Walls" started in 1992. In the city, on many walls of ancient buildings, poems are written by the most famous poets of all times and peoples,

and the very first poem, with which it all began, belongs to Marina Tsvetaeva! In total, 101 poems by poets from different countries appeared on the walls of Leiden houses, although most of them belong to Dutch authors. As for the poems in Russian, there are only five of them. In 1996, the wall of house 26 on Apothekersdijk street was decorated with Velimir Khlebnikov's quatrain "When horses die". It is accompanied by transcription and translation into Dutch. But here it was not without embarrassment - in the first and second lines in the word "die" the letter "a" is missing. Since we were filming from a boat, it seems that my hand trembled here and the photo is a little out of focus. Here is the quatrain.
When horses die, they breathe
When grasses die, they dry
When the suns die, they go out
When people die, they sing songs.

Lenin: nuuuuu... maybe this is a high position for you...

We go to the coast.
We are now scheduled to visit Japanese fair held today near the building of the Japanese Museum.

We are lucky to visit Japan this year: in Brussels, where we first gathered in August this year, there will be a carpet on a Japanese theme, in Leiden - a Japanese fair.
At the fair, it became clear where all these somewhat strangely dressed girls, whom we met on the streets today, came from. This is Japanese youth style - Harajuku.

At the fair, you could buy various Japanese souvenirs, as well as eat traditional Japanese fast food. Naturally, we went to eat, which is prepared here in the same way as in Japan.

We greeted the Japanese saleswoman in Japanese and she also happily answered us in Japanese, handing out decorated taco-yaki plates. A trifle, but nice.

Lenin: (proudly and coyly) Oh, why don't we talk a little bit in Japanese on the streets of the Dutch Leiden. And we remember Japanese, and she too ... remember Along the cutely decorated streets of the city,

Lenin: (cynical and spoiled) the stork has flown (in the bad sense of the word. Women will understand faster. And men will be scared stronger.) not forgetting to look at the shop windows (again, owls for an owl sova_f ) and again too large.


go to university beer "Kaiser". (Passwords and appearances: Café de Keyzer, Kaiserstraat 2-4)
Here, teachers and students at one time could meet in an informal setting over a glass of beer and discuss their daily business.


The cafe is very authentic. And we, going to go into it just for a minute, stayed to drink a mug of beer.
Lenin: "We are going to go into it only for a minute." I didn't understand this joke. I went there on purpose. Purposefully. And this purposefulness was associated with drinking. Why did you suddenly decide about "just look"? "Just to see" it was the above-described beer bar Camino Real. Yes, there is a duality on the Internet "who from xy" in the drinking of students and teachers. I consider my "hu" Kaiser.
My version: But because the insidious Lenin led me only to look, and the desire to sit and drink beer was voiced only on the spot. And not for them, but for me.
And on one street they found just such an unusual sign and immediately realized to Lenin "a family portrait in the interior." True, he has his own interpretations of places and events on this score: “I clean myself under Lenin.”

So the time allotted for the glorious town of Leiden has ended. It was time to think about dinner before going to the airport.
I don't remember how we got to this buffet restaurant Luxor Theater (passwords and appearances: Stationsweg 19), where for 27.5 euros (115 NIS) per person you could eat your fill. Inside, the restaurant impresses with its size and delicious cuisine. (photo from restaurant website)

Basically, it's a big buffet.
Different dishes, different national cuisines. For example, sushi (where without them?).


But for you, according to your personal choice, various meats and seafood are fried right on the spot.


But in a frying pan, in a matter of minutes, a delicious dish is prepared for you from what you yourself have chosen.

The sweet table here is also very diverse, including cheeses, cakes, fruits and ice cream, tea and coffee.


The only thing not included in the price was booze. But where are we in Holland without beer?

Route of the day and the whole trip.

Here is the end of the journey.
I just have to say a few words about the Dutch payment system and credit cards. In 2007, there were very few places in Holland that accepted international credit cards. Local debit cards like "Maestro" were in use. And there was always a terrible problem, to buy something without cash. Even for the purchase of train tickets, the machines did not accept credit cards. But, they not only did not accept credit cards, they did not accept banknotes either, but only coins. So it turned out that if you don’t have change, go buy tickets at the box office and pay an additional 1 euro per ticket.
Over the past nine years between our trips, the situation has not changed much. Therefore, going to the Netherlands, bring oranges in barrels, suitcases of currency in cash.
Lenin: (I decided to leave the last word to myself. Well, you women don’t always win. What if Lenchik doesn’t notice). Taa went fine. What do you wish!

A modern person daily receives and holds in his head a lot of information about a wide variety of things. But oddly enough, most of us know very little about the structure of our own bodies. Moreover, few people realize how bad habits affect the state of the body, and in fact, many people themselves, without suspecting it, shorten their life expectancy.

To fill the gaps in adult knowledge and educate children, a museum of the human body has been created in the Netherlands.

How was it created?

Creating such an amazing museum was not easy. It took more than 12 years of intense intellectual work, almost $30 million and about a year and a half of construction work to develop the layout.

The main goal of the creators of the museum was not only to tell about the structure of the human body, but also to show what effect healthy and bad habits have on the body.

Perhaps one of the visitors, having been "inside" the human body, will understand that his device, although perfect, is quite fragile, so you need to treat your body with care.

The museum building itself is also unusual. It is built in the form of the body of a seated person, while half of the "body" is hidden in a seven-story glass and concrete building.

At the initial stage of construction, the museum wanted to be located in the northern part of the capital. But then they abandoned this idea, since it would be difficult to get to the originally chosen construction site. Therefore, the museum was located near the town of Leiden, located between The Hague and Amsterdam.

The part of the building, made in the form of a human body, is made of a special grade of steel. The peculiarity of the grade is that after the appearance of the upper plaque rust, further corrosion of the material is very slow.

Excursions

Many people dream of visiting the Museum of the Human Body, Corpus, so queues often form near it. Tour groups run into the building every 7-10 minutes.

The group on the escalator rises to the "knee" of the sitting giant and enters the wonderful world. The duration of the trip is a little less than an hour, during which time the group on a hydraulic platform manages to rise to the height of the seventh floor.

Museum visitors immediately enter the "thigh bone", where they can observe the process of hematopoiesis, that is, the creation of leukocytes and erythrocytes. Next, the guests get acquainted with how the muscles, joints and tendons work when walking.

The next stage of the journey is the uterine cavity (the steel giant turns out to be a woman), here visitors can observe the most mysterious process - the birth and development of a new life.

Next, visitors enter the digestive system, examine the lungs and heart. In the "oral cavity" guests are shown the work of the vocal cords and taste buds. The group then enters the inner ear and nasal cavity and examines the inside of the eye. The last stage of the excursion is the brain.

All parts of the museum exposition are made extremely realistic. Even looking at the photos of the exhibits, you can understand how well they are made. In addition, the tour is accompanied by sound, olfactory and dynamic effects. We can say that the tour takes place in 5D format. In some parts of the museum, visitors will be asked to wear special glasses so that the effect of presence is complete.

After completing the tour, you can stay in the museum to look at other departments (located in a regular building adjacent to the building in the form of a body), work out on simulators, visit a cafe or a gift shop.

Useful information

Tourists visiting the capital of the Netherlands are interested in how to get from Amsterdam to the museum. If you have a personal or rented car at your disposal, then you need to move along the highway towards The Hague. It is impossible to drive past the museum, because it looks original and is noticeable from afar. The car can be left in the parking lot and at the museum (parking is paid). The journey will take 40 minutes.

If there is no car, then it is worth taking the train to Leiden, and at the station, transfer to a bus following route 30, 31 or 38.

Tickets can be bought at the museum box office, but it is more convenient to order them online. Firstly, it will be cheaper, and secondly, if you arrive on time, you will not have to wait in line. If tickets were not purchased in advance, then you can pass the waiting time for your turn in a cafe near the museum. At the entrance, you should take an audio guide, choosing the language in which it is more convenient to listen to the tour. The ticket price when buying online is 16.75 euros for adults and 14.25 euros for children. Group visits (10-16 people) are slightly cheaper.

Children from the age of six are allowed into the museum, but parents themselves must decide whether their child is ready to view the exposition, since the exhibits are very realistic and can scare the baby.

The Netherlands is famous for a large number of museums on its territory. But among them there is one unique museum created in the form of a human body. And in this museum there are regular excursions, both for groups and for individual visitors.

History of the Museum of the Human Body

The layout of the museum in the form of a seated person was developed for 12 years. It took 1.5 years and 30 million dollars to implement it. The creators of the project set themselves not only commercial goals. They sought to show the work of human organs as clearly as possible. And also to note the aspect of the impact on the human body of bad habits.

The museum building itself has the 35th height. The structure is built into a building with seven floors. And it is made of a special alloy in which all corrosion processes proceed extremely slowly.

From the inside, the museum is a room with an imitation of human organs. Visitors, as it were, get inside a person, passing through his veins and arteries, examining the heart and lungs as if a giant man had swallowed the tour group.

What can you see on a tour of the museum?

Getting into the building through the knee, people immediately observe the process of hematopoiesis in the hip joint. In all halls there are screens broadcasting the real work of the organs. In each room, the sounds of the activity of one or another organ are also heard.

There you can see what happens from the inside with the bodies of people if they are injured or ready for childbearing. The last point of the tour is the top floor, where an exposition dedicated to the human brain is installed.

In this museum, everything is so realistic that tourists feel like a small neuron or leukocyte inside a real person. Kidneys, liver, bones, joints, heart, uterus, lungs, muscles and tissues - this is an incomplete list of museum expositions.

How is the museum organized?

Visitors to this museum are allowed from the age of 6. But not all children at this age are ready for such revelations. Tickets for the tour can be ordered online, or bought directly in the building.

The Museum of the Human Body is a popular institution. Therefore, it is better to take care of the ticket in advance. Otherwise, you will have to stand in line. Or while away the time in a cozy cafe in the lobby.

Tour groups are allowed into the museum itself every 7-10 minutes. Rising on an escalator guarantees a hit in the knee of a person, and from there the entire excursion program begins. Tourists are driven through the halls for 55 minutes. But no one complains about boredom, because there are so many interesting and exciting things around. In total, visitors pass 7 floors on the platform.

Each tour takes place in the 5D format. During the inspection, smell, vision, touch, hearing and dynamics are involved. For many exhibitions, special glasses are issued to make the effect of presence seem complete.

Before visiting the museum, everyone is given electronic translators, where the excursion information is read in the visitor's native language. Souvenirs and books dedicated to the human body are sold near the entrance to the museum.

Ticket prices and travel to the museum

If you decide to order tickets online, they will have the following cost:

• Adults - about 17 euros;
• Children from 6 to 14 years old - about 15 euros;
• Groups from 10 to 16 people - about 16 euros each.

When buying a ticket at the box office, the price for each ticket will be 1 euro higher. The day off in this institution falls on Monday. But from Tuesday to Sunday the museum is waiting for its visitors from 9 am to 19 pm.

The last tour of the museum of the day starts at 5 pm. The museum itself is located near Amsterdam in the town of Leiden. The Museum of the Human Body can be reached by car from Amsterdam in 40 minutes. The museum has its own paid parking, where you can leave the car for 4 hours for 6 euros.

Leiden Centraal is the name of the station, which is needed by those who decide to get to the museum from Amsterdam Central Station by bus. Route numbers "30", "31" and "38" pass next to the Museum of the Human Body. The trip from Amsterdam by public transport takes about an hour.

If you live in Leiden itself, then bus number 37 is the ideal transport solution for you. Since the bus in the Netherlands is considered a comfortable and inexpensive transport, it is best to use it. Since it is quite difficult to find free parking in the places closest to the museum.

After visiting the museum of the human body, everyone begins to take better care of their body. After the tour, a person is fully aware of how fragile he is, and how complex it is. In the museum, in addition to the main expositions, you can learn a lot of new information. And also to see something that under no other circumstances would even be possible to peep out of one corner of the eye. Such openness and accessibility fascinates, and also helps to enrich your knowledge base.

Museum of the human body with the name Corpus (Corpus) is in Netherlands, near the university city of Leiden. The museum offers a journey inside the human body. The unique museum is a figure of a seated man, a 35-meter-high construction built into a seven-story building.


Museum very interesting and informative, the tour lasts 55 minutes, during this time the sounds of the body are imitated where the group is located. The museum of the human body presents copies of human organs, the processes occurring in the body are modeled.

You can get into through the giant's knee, climbing the escalator. Inside, visitors move past internal organs, muscles, bones, heart, kidneys, digestive organs, lungs, ears, eyes and brain.

The screens show the work of the organs, their functions are shown, and all this with sounds. It shows what happens in the body when a person is injured in one or another organ, how reproduction occurs.

The tour ends on the top floor in the head of the "giant man". And in the building, which is built into, you can get additional information about the human body.
