DEUTSCHES HYGIENE-MUSEUM - GERMAN HYGIENE MUSEUM
Go there and contact
The name of the German Hygiene Museum may frighten the visitor; but it is in fact a true discovery museum focused on knowledge of the human body. Dresden's hygienic tradition dates back to the 19th century, when the city was at the forefront of industrial innovation in Germany: in 1892, entrepreneur Karl August Lingner marketed the antiseptic mouthwash (Mundwasser) for mouthwash under the name Odol. The success is immediate. In 1911, Lingner also launched the first German hygiene exhibition. The German Hygiene Museum was founded in Dresden in 1912. Set up in 1930 in grandiose premises inspired by the Bauhaus and the neoclassical style typical of the architecture of the time, the museum's permanent collection is particularly entertaining and instructive. Its very modern and playful scenography will amuse adults and children alike, who also have an educational space for them (Kinder-Museum). Since 1935, one of the main attractions of the Deutsches-Hygiene-Museum has been its Gläserne Frau (Glass Woman), which makes it possible to understand the human body by illuminating the organs in a transparent manikin.
