Easier access to the museums and attractions I went. But would be good if the catalogue can be sorted in the operation hours of the attractions, so that it will be easier for planning.

Efficiency, once you've got past the hassle of installing it on 4 different smartphones, which meant losing the trip to the main station.

Each exhibit was accompanied by detailed explanations, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology. The museum's interactive elements added an extra layer of engagement, making it suitable for visitors of all ages. Additionally, the staff were knowledgeable and approachable, ready to answer any questions and enhance the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Body Museum for anyone interested in science, medicine, or simply curious about the amazing complexity of the human body.🙏🏼🔥👋🏻

We loved it, it was really enjoyable and informative. Actually being able to see the parts of the body rather than just seeing pictures of them explained it far better. It was definitely value for money in my opinion.
