The Berlin Medical Historical Museum is an institution of the Charité – University of 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 every 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 small to medium-sized companies find their way to the museum.
