The Museum of Medical History in Berlin reopened in 1998 as part of the Berlin Charité Universitätsmedizin medical school. Famous for its pathological and anatomical collection, it vividly documents the advancements of medicine over the last four centuries.

Special collections from the world of medicine
Originally the Pathological Museum opened by Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), it now houses a number of special collections from the most diverse fields of medicine. Virchow's objective was to document every disease known at the time along with a typical remedy, and to explain the typical progression of the disease, as proven by several organ studies. The museum holds temporary exhibitions, each focusing on different aspects of medicine and the history of medicine, and gives information about past and current diseases. It portrays the relationships between medicine and art, pathology and ancient mythology, but also explains the key links between medicine and industry.

This is a memorial to the many Jews who were murdered during the Nazi period. The imposing 19,000m² site is adorned with 2,711 concrete stele (pillars) of various heights, laid in an irregular pattern, and there is also an underground information centre. There are several rooms in this 800m² centre, providing visitors with information about the main phases of the Holocaust and stories of the fate met by so many individuals. The exhibition commences with text and photos from the years 1933-1945.
