Everything you ever wanted to know about the human body is presented at CORPUS.

Who needs X-ray vision now that there is CORPUS? _(1)_ just outside Amsterdam, this extraordinary museum is a giant model of the human body.

到荷兰来一趟人体之旅

任何你想知道与人体有关的知识都在人体博物馆。

　　有『人体博物馆』，谁还需要照 X 光呢？座落于阿姆斯特丹外郊，这间令人惊叹的博物馆是个巨大的人体模型。人体博物馆于 2008 年 3 月开馆，从主建筑向外突出 35 公尺高的人体模型让这座博物馆相当好辨识。在这座吸睛的建筑物内，参观民众能进行一趟惊奇之旅，认识人体究竟如何运作。

　　从膝盖开始，1个小时的游览会介绍身体如何组成、怎么运作，以及需要什么来保持健康。从起点到旅程最终点的大脑，访客一路上都伴有语音导览，包含中文在内共有 8 种语言。在参观的过程中，8 岁以上的孩童和成人得以亲身体验腿部的疮口，起司在肠内消化的过程，以及在巨大鼻子内体验各式各样的味道。孩童可以在巨型的橡胶舌头上跳来跳去，而所有参观民众都可以在心脏剧场内体验当红血球的滋味。访客可以用眼睛观看，以及感受和聆听人体的各个面向，并获得各种问题的解答，像是人体打喷嚏时会发生什么事、以及头发如何生长等等。

　　不过，精采的还不只这些。在探索这个巨大的身体模型后，访客可以在医学中心学到许多知识，并参与各种互动活动。孩童和成人都可以尝试好玩又具挑战性的游戏。人体博物馆真的是对人体好处多多。
