Charité Berlin – past and present
The Charité is nowadays one of the largest university
hospitals in Europe for medical research and education.
It looks back on a 300-year history of healing, research
and teaching at the top international level with 3,700
doctors and scientists. It extends over four campuses
with almost 100 clinics and institutes under the roof of
17 Charité Centers.
The Berlin Museum of Medical History is the succes-
sor of Rudolf Virchow's Pathological Museum and it is
located on the grounds of the Charité in Berlin Mitte.
The museum's special exhibitions focus on current as-
pects of medicine and medical history of the last four
centuries. In its stocks, the museum holds quite a few
historical medical collections. They also provide objects
for an ongoing material research in the fields of history
of science and medicine. The permanent exhibition in-
cludes 750 pieces of pathological anatomic (moist and
dry) compounds, models and images. Explore the muse-
um on a private guided tour.
