Bodies... The Exhibition

Best next move

Decide on the fetal gallery first

Know before you enter that a separate fetal gallery exists and is clearly marked as skippable — deciding in advance lets families and sensitive visitors plan their route through the rest of the exhibition.

Visitor fit

For the science-curious and the candid

Best for visitors fascinated by anatomy and willing to view real human specimens up close. Anyone squeamish, or families with young or sensitive children, should weigh the content carefully first.

Locals' angle

Confront it once, on purpose

Locals tend to see Bodies as a one-time visit — striking and genuinely educational, but not a repeat outing. Go in informed about the content rather than wandering in unprepared.
