Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit is on weekday mornings right when the doors open, allowing you to explore the exhibits in a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. Late afternoons during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn also offer a more relaxed pace away from the peak summer crowds.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Photography for personal use is generally allowed, but flash and tripods are strictly prohibited to protect the exhibits and ensure a good experience for others.

  • Focus on capturing the dynamic poses of the plastinates against the dark, dramatic lighting of the museum.

  • Be respectful when taking photos, keeping in mind that these are real human specimens generously donated for educational purposes.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

The Dutch value directness, personal space, and respect, so maintain a quiet and contemplative demeanor while viewing the sensitive exhibits. Remember that all bodies on display were donated by individuals who wished to educate the public, so a respectful and mature attitude is essential throughout your visit.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • During the Amsterdam Light Festival in winter, the museum often features extended evening hours for visitors to escape the cold.

  • Look out for special guided tours and interactive workshops during the Dutch National Science Weekend (Weekend van de Wetenschap) in October.

  • Valentine's Day often brings themed discussions or events focusing on the anatomy of love and human connection.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines
