The Corpus Museum is a human biology interactive museum, located in Oegstgeest, near Leiden, in the Netherlands.

Opened in 2008 by Queen Beatrix, the museum is the world’s first museum of its type.
CORPUS ”Journey Through the Human Body”
How does your body react to a splinter? What happens in your ear when you listen to music? And where is your body’s command center? Experience a spectacular “Journey Through the Human Body” and see, feel and hear how our ingenious body works. A sensory stimulating experience to experience together!
Be amazed
In the 5D heart theater, take a dizzying ”journey” as red blood cell, breathe along in the lungs, walk through the ear and marvel in the brain. Discover even more about your body? Test your hearing, get your heart pumping or put your health knowledge to the test in the interactive section.
From the knee to the brain
Via the escalator you enter the knee, there the ”journey” starts and you end in the brain. You take the ”journey” with an audio tour (available in Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese). You experience the ”journey” with up to 16 people. The recommended age for a visit to CORPUS is 6 years.
