The founder of this museum was the famous German physician and pathologist Rudolf Virchow. Virchow had to fight for a long time for his musezm but in the end he prevailed and created a collection second to none. Virchow's motto was:"No day without preparation".
Today the museum shows about 750 artifacts in its permanent exhibition, always enriched by topical special exhibitions on the subject of medicine and the history of medicine. Annually about 90.000 people visit the museum, not only doctors and physicians but also students and the interested general public.
