Social Visit to BODY WORLDS: The Anatomy of Happiness at The District Docklands

Join me for an evening at BODY WORLDS: The Anatomy of Happiness, the world-famous exhibition that's landed in Melbourne for the first time. It uses real human specimens, preserved through the plastination process, to show how our bodies work and how emotions like happiness physically shape our health. It's fascinating, a little surreal, and a great one to wander through and chat about afterwards.

We'll meet at 6:15pm outside the BODY WORLDS doors at The District Docklands (Level 1, opposite H&M), say hello, then head in together to scan our tickets around 6:30pm. From there we'll explore at our own pace, and the meetup wraps up at 8:00pm, though you're welcome to stay longer if you want more time with the displays.

A quick heads-up: this is a casual social meetup so we can go along together. It isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by BODY WORLDS, Fever, or The District Docklands. You'll need to book your own ticket, and an RSVP here doesn't include entry.

Who this is for

• Anyone curious about the human body, science, art, or all three
• Easy pace, all ages welcome, no prior knowledge needed
• Coming solo? You're very welcome. It's a relaxed, friendly group and easy to chat while we explore
