• Real human bodies throughout, preserved by plastination, so show sensitive kids a few photos before you go
• Free Dr. Junior anatomy quiz on the Body Worlds schools page walks children through the body systems; print it before your visit
• Steps from Centraal Station, under 500 meters away, with the Dam/De Bijenkorf tram stop a minute's walk from the door

Body Worlds shows real human bodies preserved by plastination, a process invented by anatomist Gunther von Hagens, across seven levels on Damrak. The current exhibition, The Happiness Project, links what goes on inside the body to mood and health: hearts, lungs, nerves and muscles laid open, plus whole figures posed mid-movement.

The bodies are real, so it suits curious older kids more than squeamish ones.
