Deutsche%20Hygiene%20Museum%20200.jpgDon't get the wrong idea about Dresden's Deutsches Hygiene-Museum based on its name. It's not a museum dedicated to the importance of brushing your teeth and changing your underwear every day. Instead, it's a fascinating study of the human body with a range of interactive exhibits designed to teach you the inner workings of the body and help you understand the complex systems that make you function. The Transparent Man, for example, features an anatomically accurate recreation of a human body with transparent glass skin that enables visitors to see the skeleton, circulatory system, and major organs of an adult human. Displays dedicated to eating and drinking, thinking and learning, and the art of coordination similarly shed light on these most basic yet little-understood facets of life. And, in a nod to contemporary priorities, a retrospective on beauty, skin, and hair serves to define the relationship between the body and the environment through sculptures, illustrations, and interactive exhibits. The museum is housed in a historical 1930 museum building located on the edge of the Great Garden, a baroque style park in central Dresden just minutes from the Westin Bellevue, Dresden.
