The Berlin Museum of Medical History is an institution of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. It is located on the Charité grounds in the building that Rudolf Virchow had built in 1899 for his Pathological Museum.
The museum illustrates Western and Western-influenced medicine over the past three centuries: anatomical theatre, pathologist's dissection room, laboratory, clinic and examination room. Ten individual medical histories from three centuries are retraced in a historical sickroom, and preserved specimens from Virchow's famous collection have also been integrated.
Special exhibitions focus on individual aspects of medicine and medical history. Occasionally there are exhibitions of contemporary artists in which medicine and art enter into dialogue. Lecture series, discussion evenings and conferences are held in the impressive ruins of the former lecture hall.
