Recently I went to the city of Leiden to visit a museum that had been on my \u201cto visit\u201d list for quite some time.\u00a0 The museum\u2019s name is CORPUS and the tagline is \u201cjourney through the human body.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the museum you move through a large replica body learning how everything inside works via what you are seeing in front of you (imagine large teeth and a beating heart) and the audio guide you are given before the start of your tour (you can choose from Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish Italian, Russian or Chinese).<\/p>\n

As you move throughout the museum in small groups, the majority of the information you experience is through the visual bits you are moving around and the information you are listening to but every so often there is a 3D film, comfy chairs or relevant smells (pleasant ones only!).\u00a0 My favourite section was when we were in the nose.\u00a0 The whole room smelt like roses growing outside in spring.<\/p>\n

The whole tour through the body takes about 55 minutes, after which you make your way back down to reception via floors of interactive exhibits, activities and information.<\/p>\n

Was it the best museum I had been to?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Was it interesting?\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n

The tours run on a time-slot system so if you do book tickets online, you will have to specify a time in advance.\u00a0 For further information visit:\u00a0http:\/\/www.corpusexperience.nl\/en\/corpus-experience<\/a><\/p>\n
