Bangkok is home to many fascinating sights with its vibrant cultural neighbourhoods and grand temples. But nothing compares to the Museum of the Human Body, a weird yet educational attraction for those who aren’t easily repulsed by the intricacies of human biology.
An Adventure for Curious Minds
The Museum of the Human Body is exceptional for its in-depth exploration of human anatomy. Thanks to detailed displays and life-sized exhibits, visitors can gain plenty of insight into each bodily system – their structures and how they work – details that most of us never see throughout our lifetimes.
Unsettling or Fascinating?
A visit to this museum can be deeply unsettling or fascinating, depending on your point of view. That’s because the museum’s exhibits include actual human bodies, some in full form, others dissected, as well as various organs, muscles and more! This was made possible because of several individuals in the scientific community who donated their human bodies for research and education.
The Wonders of Modern Science
So how exactly are these bodies maintained for display? It’s all thanks to a technique that uses a liquid plastic solution to replace liquids and fat in body tissue and eliminate unpleasant odours. This process helps preserve the bodies in their original state for longer periods.
A Weird Wonder in the City
Located within Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district the museum is a weird yet intriguing site to visit from your Bangkok luxury hotel. The museum is also within reach of many other attractions in the district and is easily accessible from nearby accommodations like the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel.
