Maybe you remember Richard Fleischer's 1966 classic sf movie Fantastic Voyage, where a group of 'miniaturized' scientists made a trip in the body of a man to operate an extremely difficult surgery. Nowadays something similar - a 'virtual' trip in the human body - is possible in The Netherlands.
CORPUS is a 'journey through the human body' during which the visitor can see, feel and hear how the human body works and what role healthy food, healthy life and plenty of exercise plays. CORPUS offers a variety of information and provides education and entertainment with this journey as well as a vast number of permanent and variable exhibitions. CORPUS has been realised in a 35-meter high transparent building with the contours of the human body projecting from it. The eye-catching building is situated along the A44 highway between Amsterdam and The Hague.
