This may have been our favorite museum that we visited while we were in Berlin! My boyfriend and I had Museum Passes, so we decided to check it out first thing in the morning. I work in Medicine, so I'm biased, but my boyfriend (with minimal interest in medicine) really enjoyed it too! The displays are mostly in German, but there is some information in English too. We found that it was a really cool mix of medical history, tools and artifacts. I completely agree that some displays are not suitable for children/younger audiences, so perhaps not suitable for all audiences, given how graphic some of the displays are. The museum is set over three floors, and there is NO photography allowed, which was too bad because I wanted to show my friends/family how excellent this museum was!

Tolles Museum zur Medizin und deren Entwicklung. Auch die wechselnden Sonderausstellungen sind sehr sehenswert. Es gibt viele Bilder und Exponate, mit Erklärungen (deutsch und englisch) und auch zum sehen und hören ist etwas dabei. Im Untergeschoss gibt es WC‘s und Schließfächer zum mieten. Alles ist über einen Fahrstuhl erreichbar. Alles sehr modern gestaltet und anschaulich erklärt. Ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

This is definitely one of the hidden gems of Berlin. This place is both fascinating and terrifying. Fascinating of it huge collection of artifacts (medical and surgical equipment, and specimens), terrifying because it makes you think about how complex and fragile the human body is. You MUST have a strong stomach to endure the dozens of deformed fetuses and babies, as well as the body parts ridden with diseases. It was quite full because of the many students, and not being allowed to take pictures is definitely a downside, but I recommend this place to everyone.

This museum has the potential to be so much better. I knew reviews mentioned a lack of English but it was a lot worse than I expected. The first and third floors have English, which covers the history of one doctor, the tools and practices used and the third floor covers various illnesses of people but the second floor, where all the organs are, doesn't have any translations whatsoever. This is where we spent most of our time. There's so many organs on display and no translation whatsoever so we had no idea what we were looking at which is a real shame considering the rest of the museum has translations. Most people say this isn't for the faint of heart which is true as you will see many organs with various diseases but it's worth mentioning there is also deformed babies on display as this may be difficult for some people to see. Overall I highly recommend a visit here, it's by far one of the most interesting things you will see and it's definitely unique, it's just a shame we couldn't read more of what was on display.

A very unique place, highly recommended for a visit. It should be warned there is human specimens exposed. It starts with a very nice exposition of how the death state was decided to be determined in humans. Then, the exhibition of the healthy and pathological specimens follows, in the upper floor. Very interesting, specially when you like sciences. Only 5 euros per person, with several discounts available. The bad point: there are only audioguides in German. Inside the museum you find English explanations in paper.

Wechselnde Ausstellungen mit verständlicher Darstellung der relevanten Inhalte. Die permanente Ausstellung ist interessant, hat aber erhebliches Potential interessanter gestaltet zu werden. Schön ist die Geschichte der Charité dargestellt. Insgesamt ist ein Besuch empfehlenswert.

Very interesting. Some exibits may be a bit sensitive though.

Eines der besten medizinischen Museen, die ich bisher besucht habe. Für jede Fachrichtung gibt es eine Ausstellung. Die Ausstellung für Tumore und Krebserkrankungen fand ich sehr interessant. Auch die Information über die Geschichte der Charité waren spannend. Gerade für Medizinstudenten wäre es sehr informativ und empfehlenswert.

Astounding collection of medical tools, as well as well written and in depth description of history side by side with extensive explanation of nearly every exhibited piece, organ or even reconstruction of historical treatment room are reasons by itself to visit this wonderful museum. And to top it off one of the kindest personal to guide you through, and care about your belongings while you are enjoying this pice of art. I strongly recommend visiting this place to anyone who pays visit to Berlin.

This one goes to tiny Tom, by far the most amazing guide you can have in a museum filled with body parts. If you like some really dark humor from a person who loves body parts, go for a tour with tiny Tom ( no kidding, that's how he presented himself). Otherwise, not a place for sensitive people. Cool anatomical collection, logically presented.

Staff was very friendly, they had a nice collection of medical instruments and oddities (preserved specimens). They could improve the museum by adding English translations directly to the exhibit (they have some but they are in a printed book that you need to use to look up each item). There is a wheelchair available to borrow. And you are not allowed to take pictures.

As a massage therapist and herbalist, I love visiting medical museums. This is the best one I've seen.

If you are a med student you will definitely enjoy this museum. If you are not you better have a strong stomach and a very curious mind. Some of the things you will see are not very pleasant but very interesting and educational. We spent and hour here but you could easily spend more.

Being able to see all the works from Virchow, being at one of his lecture halls and being able to touch all these instruments have been an impressive experience. This is one great museum. To know the history of the Medicine here in Berlin, how everything shaped up, being able to see the different instruments used in surgery during war, all of this is something someone who likes science, history and health in general shouldn't miss. Currently the museum is showing Virchow's Exposition, it is not possible to take pictures, but if you really like to study regarding neoplasms in general, you should see this Exposition.

A must if you are interested in the history of medicine. Berlin and Germany have a very distinguished one and that is illustrated very nicely and effectively in this museum through posters, exhibits and videos. I had visited in 2015 and I found it now completely changed, and much for the better. There is a permanent exhibition and temporary ones. Definitely recommended if you are interested in medicine.

- barrierefrei Hochinteressante Ausstellung über 4 Etagen von historischen »Werkzeugen« aus dem Medizin-Bereich. (Empfehlenswert)

Spannende Ausstellung auf 3 Etagen.Für Kinder meiner Meinung nach nicht geeignet.In der permanenten Ausstellung braucht man einen guten Magen

Great museum with very well described exhibits

It’s not big but well organized, if you are interested in what might happen in us Or curious on human’s body parts, then it’s worth a 2-3 hours tour .9 euro if you don’t have any other pass,but students got discounts.

War heute mit meiner Mutter dort. Es war grandios!!! Bitte erst ab 16 Jahren besuchen!!!! Das man keine Fotos machen darf versteht sich ja wohl von selbst... Respekt vor dem Tod und so... Würde ich jedem empfehlen, der 16 Jahre alt und älter ist und der sich für den menschlichen Körper interessiert. Das Kassenpersonal super lieb und zuvorkommend. Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

Security is obnoxious 25 min before closing they try to get you to leave. Besides this it is an interesting place

newly reopened, it currently has a very interesting exposition on the brain, with a mix of medicine and art, beside the permanent exposition, very interesting too, it’s not to big, you should be able to see everything in 1/2 hours, depending of how much of the stuff you read

Wir hatten Frau Franziska Gerhoff als Gruppenleiterin. Sie hat es super gut und verständlich erklärt und war unwahrscheinlich freundlich und offen. Genau dass, was für unsere Gruppe gebraucht war. Das Museum ist natürlich auch der Interessant. Sehr tolle Ausstellungen, welche uns sehr fasziniert haben!!!

This museum addresses medicine in a unique and interesting way. It's not just anatomical models and special effects, like some theme park-style museums. It deals with difficult parts of medicine's history, combines specimens with art, challenges the viewer to consider things in a new light. It's a hidden gem, definitely worth visiting.

Great museum, more than just a specimen room like some medical museum. Exhibition are well thought out and have some interactive element. A good mix of history of the field , the hospital and medecine as a whole in berlin/germany

Super interesting to visit

Nice collection of different specimens. You may need to have a bit of a stomach to come here. It's a shame though that you can't take pictures.

Very interesting, worth the visit especially for those with an interest in medicine, nursing and history. There are 3 levels of exhibitions so it may take some time to see everything (especially for those that like to read).

Great museum, where you can really learn about the history of medicine and about various diseases. The exhibits are very explicit, children should be accompanied by an adult when visiting. Very educational place with fascinating information about the human body.

Fantastic place! You can learn so much about medical things... Look for it really good, it's a little hide to get there

Of you like museums like this, then go visit! Medical museums are great places. You learn a lot.

Fantastic exhibitions. Cheap tickets. A lot of signage in English (but not all).

I found the first floor with the human samples and the old Ruine - AMAZING! THE UPPER FLOOR WAS A BIT BORING.
