deutsches hygiene-museum

This is a great museum and great value! I seem to remember if you go on a Friday morning or something it is free (ask tourist info about this!). If you are in Dresden on a rainy day it is a great museum to go to if you are interested in humanity and science. Lots to see and would engage older teenagers.

A Museum is a overall a great place to be and in the case of bad weather it might be an intelectual shelter, however in the case of the Hygene Museum man has to wonder. After a looonggggggggg que to go in, partly because of the bad weather that brought more visitors than expected, and mainly because there was only one person at the cashier, we got in. The price is acceptable for a family with young children and the part of the Museum that is dedicated for the little visitors makes it up for the waiting time. The Museum offeres an Exhibition dedicated to the 5 sences and is mainly for childrens , and another part of body part exponents made of wax, that is not advised (by the controller that stands at the entrance) for children under 14, which is quite problematic when you go as one family .This Exhibition is bases on a collection that was dispalyed on markets and bizar Shows in the 20 century. The third part Shows mainly the history of researchingthe human body , on the 1st part of the 20 century and deals with the question of death and memorising. Interesting for seing the development of science but one has the Feeling that it is a Museum stuck still in the comunist times from the variety and Technology.

the permanent exhibition in the hygiene museum is amazing and very educating. But it was disappointing that many of the explanations were in German only...The other exhibition on the migrants was superb!!

We took a long walk along through traffic laden main roads to reach the museum which is in an unimpressive modern building. The exhibits were old fashioned and seemingly mainly aimed at children - we were almost alone pushing buttons and gawping at parts of the human body until we reached the area on relationships/ sexuality where there were so many teenagers we didn't really have a chance to follow the exhibits at all. A very odd experience. However, we had heard that there was an exhibition about immigration in Germany so made our way to the ground floor and entered a strange gallery of packing cases forming little cubicles with a mass of information and data obviously aimed at putting the record straight and helping to inform opinion. This was a brave attempt to air a very difficult subject and we congratulate the curators/designers for mounting such an exhibit. Go see it if it's still there - it's not "stunning" but definitely gets the old grey matter working. This lifts the rating from poor to good.

This is a great place to see if you love the human body and have more the a few days to spend in Dresden. It is fun for all ages and is very interactive. Does have a lot of walking and stairs. There is something interesting for everyone.

We very much enjoyed this museum and its interweaving of historical background and the progression of displays mixing the history of the museum with contemporary health issues , such as Ebola, sexuality, and other topics. Definitely worth a visit.

The museum has some detailed exhibitions about human body, some are pretty basic and out of date especially the one on nutrition, but some are modern and interactive. We particularly liked the animation of the style of walk of men and women, where you can set old, young person, tired, happy person, thin or fat person style of walk. However, we expected more modern hands on installations. The interactive part for children is interesting, but all texts are only in German unfortunately.

If you're interested in younger health's history and vivid examples of progress you should take a look at this museum. Also special exhibitions are captivating to my point of view. Big plus: the ticket is valid for two days! For sure you can see most things in 2-3 hours at the exhibition, but it's optimal e.g. you're located in the near and have a bit "free time" e.g. in the afternoon for looking around or to tide over some rainy hours.

Exhibits are interesting (family, birth, diseases, human body etc), but there are very few english explanations (special exhibit was Immigration which was interesting and everything had english explanations). If there were more english it would be fantastic, in this state it is recommendable only for german speakers/people who dont mind only looking.

I didn't found the hygienic part, but this museum is very interesting. There are a lot of thing about the human body, diseases and stuff like that.Also, there is always some itinerant exhibitions. The day I was visiting the museum there were a exhibition about immigration in Germany and other about dancing. It has also a children's exhibition.Don't miss the mind game, is awesome!

It was MUCH better than I expected! it was a little hard for speakers other than German. NO OTHER LANGUAGES. Other than that it was great! Don't go there if you get grossed out! but do not let that scare you! I would like agree with Norm T with the lack of English

Even if this museum had some actual interesting things on display, it wouldnt be any good because there is barely any descriptions in English. Which is extremely disappointing because i considered Dresden a sort of international city.Me and my girlfriend looked at it as a waste of time and I recommend that you dont go there if you dont speak german.

- Could you say more? Reviews must be at least 50 characters. Thanks. lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

Very old museum which to be honest was just boring. I guess if you're into body parts and illnesses you might find it entertaining but it needs some upgrading.

The cost for 1 adult is 7 Euros. If you are into learning about the body be prepared to spend at least 2 hours. Some of the exhibits are interactive. On the top was an exhibit but there was not much in English. Most of the other places in the museum had German and English.There is even a short film about a baby being born. If you are bringing children be aware of this. When I visited the special exhibit was Dance - moves that Move us. There is also a display on the Migration and Diversity in Germany Today. I found this very interesting.It is a short walk from the city centre.Lots of room for wheelchairs.There are audio guides available for free. in German, English, French, Polish and Czech.
