CORPUS Congress Center

What CORPUS Congress Center does

CORPUS Congress Center operates a single-site experiential attraction in Oegstgeest, Netherlands, consisting of a 35-meter tall building shaped as a seated human figure in which visitors traverse the interior of a human body replica via slowly moving platforms while listening to a multilingual audio tour. Founded in 2008 by Henri Remmers, the venue pairs the core 'Reis door de mens' (Journey Through the Human Body) attraction with an attached 500+ capacity congress center, an on-site 7th-floor restaurant, a themed retail shop, and rotating interactive exhibitions including CORPUS UNLOCKED (summer gamified zones with VR, racing, dance, sports, and brain-gaming stations) and the free CORPUS Kids Academy program featuring healthcare and science experts. The technical core is a proprietary moving-platform transportation system integrated into the building's architecture, combined with multilingual audio narration and visual effects representing bodily functions — described in source materials as the only walk-through human body attraction of its kind globally.

• Exploratorium: Exploratorium in San Francisco is a leading interactive science museum with strong institutional credibility and education programming, comparable to CORPUS as a tier-one science attraction destination.
• The Franklin Institute: The Franklin Institute is a long-established U.S. science museum with permanent exhibits, IMAX, and school programming. It is a broader incumbent in the science-attraction space overlapping CORPUS's educational positioning.

Direct peers

• Experimentarium: Experimentarium is a Danish science centre with interactive exhibitions and educational programming, serving as a close international analogue to CORPUS in family and school audience mix.

• NEMO Science Museum: NEMO is Amsterdam's flagship interactive science museum and the most direct Dutch peer to CORPUS, combining paid interactive exhibits with educational programming for school groups and families.
• Universeum: Universeum is Sweden's national science centre, combining permanent indoor exhibits, live programming, and school visits. Comparable to CORPUS as a regional science attraction monetised through tickets, schools, and events.
