KÖRPERWELTEN - The Anatomy of Happiness

The body as a place of happiness
Great love, a carefree life, true friendship... we all pursue happiness. But have you ever wondered how the feeling of happiness actually comes about? Why it matters so much to us, and why we can never seem to get enough of it? Or why we struggle to hold on to it for long?

Like every action, perception, or sensation, the feeling of happiness is the result of specific processes in our bodies. At the KÖRPERWELTEN museum in Heidelberg, you can explore real anatomical specimens to find out exactly what lies beneath your skin and which structures are involved in generating the feeling of happiness. Along the way, you'll learn a great deal about how your organs work and what keeps us healthy. You may also be surprised by how profoundly - and in how many different ways - positive and negative emotions affect the entire body. Because everything we experience, feel, and do with our bodies - or choose not to do - eventually comes back to us.

An exhibition that will change the way you see yourself.
