Posted by The Medical History Museum Berlin of the Charité is one of the largest museums for medicine and medical history in Europe. The Pathological Museum Berlin was founded at the end of the 19th century. During the two world wars many things were destroyed, after that the museum was on the territory of the GDR. Only a few years after the fall of the Berlin Wall was the Charité Medical History Museum reopened in 1998 and later expanded. The exhibition is only a few hundred metres away from Berlin’s main railway station.

Thousands of objects on the subject of medicine are shown on several floors. On the one hand, these are parts of the human body. These include things such as bones and skeletons, but also human organs in alcohol and whole babies (so-called wet preparations).

But there are also many medical tools and apparatuses to be seen in the Medizin-Museum Berlin. For example, we found a bed in an intensive care unit and a so-called iron lung interesting. Other big topics are the medicine of the Nazi era and above all the history of the Charité Berlin, today the largest hospital in Germany and probably the whole of Europe.
All in all, we would call the Medizinhistorisches Museum Berlin of the Charité a medium-sized museum. We liked the exhibition very much.
