The German Museum of Medicine History (DMM) in Ingolstadt is a comprehensive repository of medical history, tracing the evolution of medicine from antiquity to the present day. Visitors can explore the rich tapestry of medical advancements and practices through the ages, providing a unique perspective on the development of healthcare and medical sciences.

The Old Anatomy Building: A Historic Venue

The museum is housed in the Old Anatomy building in Ingolstadt, a late Baroque, castle-like structure. This historic building was constructed between 1723 and 1736 by the medical faculty of the former Bavarian state university. The architecture of the building itself is a testament to the rich history of the region and offers a unique backdrop for the museum's exhibits.

Newly Designed Permanent Exhibition

After extensive renovation and restoration work, the museum's main building was reopened in October 2020 with a newly designed permanent exhibition. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the history of medicine, with a focus on the research and teaching of medicine in the 18th century. The exhibition also showcases selected exhibits from the museum's collection, illustrating the diversity of medical objects and practices.
