Deutsches Hygiene Museum

The German Hygiene Museum is a surprisingly interesting museum with exhibits dealing with the

biological, cultural and social issues of the human body. Be warned that some of the exhibits are

not for those with more sensitive or puritan sensibilities. Most of the exhibits in this museum are

more suitable for older children.
