KÖRPERWELTEN - The Anatomy of Happiness

The body as the seat of happiness
True love, a carefree life, genuine friendship... we all pursue happiness. But have you ever wondered how 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?

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, real anatomical specimens let you explore exactly what lies beneath your skin and which structures are involved in generating that sense of happiness. Along the way, you'll learn a great deal about how your organs work and what shapes our health. You may also be surprised by how profoundly - and in how many ways - positive and negative emotions affect the entire body. Everything we experience, feel, and do with our bodies - or choose not to do - eventually leaves its mark.

An exhibition that will change the way you see yourself.
