This giant mouth with its airbag- size uvula (the soft tissue that hangs in the back of your throat) is a new attraction at Corpus , a combination amusement park and museum that opened last month outside Amsterdam.

Corpus takes visitors inside a large-scale human body with interactive, multi-sensory exhibits that reveal how it operates. Visitors enter the museum through the knee, then travel through eight exhibit spaces, heading up toward the brain. On the way, they can watch a 3-D film on fertilization, bounce on a rubber tongue while they follow a sandwich being digested and throw beanbags against a video screen to destroy bacteria.
