COLOGNE MUSEUM OF MEDICAL HISTORY
A short journey through the history and archaeology of early medicine.

WELCOME

Discover the small but exquisite Museum of Medical History in the heart of Cologne's Old Town! Enter the history of medicine and gain interesting impressions of the magical herbal knowledge of the Celts, the high art of healing of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and the fascinating medicine of the monasteries.
Let our audio guide take you on an exciting journey through time. Or enjoy a lively 90-minute private tour in an exclusive group.
As we close at times (up to 3 hours) for guided tours and events, it is always a good idea to book in advance. That way you have guaranteed access. Special wishes, questions or interests? Just ask... We look forward to your visit!
