Travellers who would like to visit local medical history museums may find the list below useful. The list — which is taken from the website of the German Central Medical Library ( Deutschen Zentralbibliothek für Medizin ) — begins with German museums followed by museums in other countries, including a few web-based virtual museums. For example, I didn’t know there is a Virtual Toilet Paper Museum (not precisely a medical museum, except that it’s got something to do with public health, I guess)! Unfortunately the list is non-discriminative, i.e., it lists all kinds of museums, whether big or small, good or bad, without any evaluation (typical librarian style). See the original here.
