If you find yourself in Bruges and have a few hours free, this exhibition is essential! We spent a couple of hours exploring the various rooms and observing the displays. While you could rush through it, you'd miss out on many aspects of the experience. The Body Worlds exhibition is intriguing and presents the human body in an unusual way. We took our teenage children along, and they were really impressed and still discuss the visit. This exhibition is available only until early March 2025 and is conveniently located in the heart of Bruges.

An amazing exhibition showcasing years of work with everything composed of actual deceased human bodies. You can discover a lot about your body, whether you are well-acquainted with the topic or not. It’s a delightful activity in the center of Bruges.

I had seen some of the artwork online and on television, so when we were in Bruges and discovered the exhibition was happening, I just had to visit. It was amazing and captivating to view the human body in this manner. Definitely worth the admission price.

The museum allowed a naturist group to view the exhibition 'Body Worlds.’ I sincerely appreciate that! I had a great time, even though the temperature was a bit too chilly.

We managed to read about 90% of the information during the tour, which took us slightly less than 2 hours. This truly is an art form! We purchased our tickets online beforehand. There is parking nearby for about 2 euros per hour.
