When to visit for the best experience

  • Capture the interactive installations and your own InBody scan results to remember your personal journey.

Respect local customs and traditions

While Amsterdam is a highly liberal city, this exhibition deals with real human remains and should be treated with respect. Maintain a quiet, museum-appropriate volume while touring the exhibits, allowing others to read and reflect in peace.
