Corpus

Museum Oegstgeest, South Holland, Netherlands

What to expect

Corpus is a human biology museum that takes visitors on a journey through the human body. The museum is located in a 35-metre-tall building shaped like a human body, and the journey takes approximately 55 minutes to complete. The museum provides both education and entertainment through a combination of permanent and variable collections, accompanied by film, smell, and light effects. Each participant receives an audio tour at the entrance that provides text and explanations during the guided tour. The museum also hosts various events, such as the CORPUS Kids Academy, which focuses on specific themes like the heart, and the CORP(u)S Horror Journey, a scary experience that combines scare nights and an escape room. Additionally, the museum collaborates with other organizations, like the Eye Fund, to research hereditary eye diseases
