The Berlin Museum of Medical History (Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum, BMM) is known for its pathological-anatomical collection, a cultural and medical historical significant collection of wet and dry specimens. A highlight are the 40 of the original 3300 specimens of the anatomist Johann Gottlieb Walter (1734-1818). In a stylized hospital room, the development of medicine can be traced through various diseases, beginning in 1726 with the treatment of war wounds, the "iron lung" as a last resort for polio to today's care with organ transplants. Other topics include the history of the Charité and medicine under National Socialism.
