The Berlin Medical Historical Museum is an institution of the Charité - University
Medicine Berlin.
It is the successor of Rudolf Virchow's Pathological Museum and is located in the
former Museum Building of the Pathological Institute on the traditional grounds
of the Charité (Campus Mitte). The permanent collection currently shows some
750 objects comprising pathological-anatomical wet and dry specimens as well
as models, and graphics.
The museum's special exhibitions
focus on current aspects of medicine and medical history.
The Berlin Medical Historical Museum is a public museum with
regular opening hours.
It seeks to offer visitors insights into the history of medicine over the last
four centuries.
Where possible, Berlin provides examples for these medical developments not only
in their historical dimensions, but also in their current contexts.
Equally important are the numerous events, such as discussion forums, conferences,
product presentations, and celebrations in the ruin of the former lecture hall, which is an
integral part of the museum.
About 50,000 people visit the museum per year. Many pupils from higher grades
and members of medical professions, participants at medical and pharmaceutical
congresses, as well as representatives and guests of various Charité institutions,
the Berlin Senate, and smaller and mid-sized companies find their way to the museum.
