Another interesting place that is simply impossible to ignore is the German Hygiene Museum (Deutsches Hygiene-Museum) or the Museum of Man, which is located east of the Dresden Town Hall, outside the territory that once belonged to the Robotron factories.

Museum Creation

The idea of ​​creating a museum came to its founder Karl August Lingner, the industrialist and inventor of mouthwash "Odol", after the International Hygiene Exhibition, held in 1911 in Dresden. The museum was conceived as a place for the promotion of hygiene and health education. In 1930, a new, modern building was erected for him and the museum moved to the city center.

One of the first exhibits and, perhaps, the most famous, was a glass human figure made in full size. For the first time, the general public was able to visually see the structure of the human body in such an understandable and accessible way. In addition to a transparent shell that allows you to see the structure of the body, the model turns on the illumination of internal organs - clearly and beautifully. Copies of the Dresden glass man were sent to all similar museums in the world.

Berlin State Opera

We must pay tribute to the German technical genius at the Berlin Opera. There are few such “moving” and creative decorations in any theater. It seems that you are not watching a performance, but something very lively and moving. Change of scenery captures no less than the action itself. Actors now and then “go out” now on the ramp, then from the balcony.
