From Monday, August 16, 2021, we require one of the following documents from all museum visitors:

- Proof of a negative Covid-19 test (maximum 24 hours old), no self-test
- Proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (14 days after the last vaccination)
- Proof of Covid-19 recovery, not older than six months

It is obligatory to wear a medical face mask (FFP 2 or surgical mask) within the museum. The distance rules (at least 1.5 m) and the general hygiene rules apply.

We recommend purchasing tickets in advance! Due to the limited number of visitors, there may be waiting times at the box office, especially on weekends, and tickets may be sold out!

The permission to open the museum depends on the guidelines recommended by national, state and local authorities and incidence figures. Please note that changes can therefore occur at any time. We will inform you about changes here on our website.

We look forward to your visit and thank you for your understanding!

Whether it's great love, a carefree life or true friendship...we encounter happiness in various ways, but still never quite by accident.

When do we feel happiness? What happens to our body? Why can't we keep it forever? Plastinator Dr. Gunther von Hagens and curator Dr. Angelina Whalley pursue these and other questions in the newly designed BODY WORLDS museum in Heidelberg.

The permanent exhibition is not only devoted to human anatomy, its organ functions and questions about health, but also the Anatomy of Happiness.

A special collection of unique exhibits and accompanying interactive stations, where YOU can get on track to your happiness, reveal the wonderful complexity of your inner body and will inspire your sensibility to your own body and happiness.
