Madrid launches an immersive journey through the human body this September
Madrid will host the world premiere of Human Universe – The Experience from 11 September, an immersive exhibition that invites visitors to explore the inside of the human body through virtual reality, 3D images, projections, and interactive spaces. It can be visited at Espacio Delicias, next to the Museo del Ferrocarril, until 7 January 2027.
The tour lasts approximately 70 minutes and is spread across six rooms. The experience begins in a fictional installation called Base Génesis, from which visitors embark on a journey that covers topics such as human evolution, the circulatory system, brain activity, and the functioning of the immune system.
Technology is one of the central parts of the experience. The setup combines virtual reality headsets, mapping, animations, three-dimensional images, and interactive screens to recreate bodily processes that are normally not directly observable.
Among the scenes announced by the organisers are journeys through the inside of arteries and representations of the brain and neural activity. The project has been developed by a team including specialists in anatomy and science communication, along with scriptwriters, designers, and 3D artists.
Madrid will not simply be a stop on an already touring exhibition. The opening at Delicias will be the world premiere of the project, which is expected to travel later to other Spanish cities and, further on, to other countries. This premiere status sets the proposal apart from other immersive experiences already running in the capital.
Human Universe will be available in Spanish and English, and Turismo de Madrid recommends the experience for ages 10 and up. General admission for those aged 13 to 64 starts at 21.38 euros; junior tickets start at 15.70 euros, and the rate for those over 65 is 17.86 euros. Children under three can enter free of charge.
The exhibition will be open from Wednesday to Sunday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, it will run from 16:00 to 19:30; on Fridays, until 20:00; and on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, there will be morning sessions from 11:00 to 13:30 and afternoon sessions from 16:00 to 20:00.
Espacio Delicias is located at paseo de las Delicias, 61, with access via the area around the Museo del Ferrocarril. The nearest Metro station is Delicias, on L3, and it can also be reached by Cercanías to Madrid-Delicias.
The first day will be Friday, 11 September. From then, the experience will remain in Madrid for four months before closing on 7 January and continuing its planned tour.
