The Berlin Museum of the History of Medicine at the Charité traces the development of medicine over the last 300 years. The permanent exhibition features around 750 pathological and anatomical specimens and offers insights into the anatomical museum, the laboratory and the ward. Special exhibitions bring together medicine, culture and history.
Behind the scenes: Preparations and moulages
On this guided tour, our taxidermist Navena Widulin will take you into her hallowed halls and open her laboratory exclusively for you on this evening. Marvel at the world’s largest collection of gallstones and other fascinating specimens from the museum’s collection!
What does a plastinate feel like? How is the preparation of a lung or heart restored? What are moulages? And what does a medical taxidermist do in a museum? After gaining an insight into laboratory work, we finish our tour with a visit to the cellar, where more specimens from the last two centuries are stored.
We round off the tour with a glass of sparkling wine in the Virchow Cabinet.Translated with DeepL
