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!

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.

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.
