After 1933 ...
After 1933, the general educational capacity of the museum and its highly developed modern mediation methods were put into the service of the Nazi race ideology. In the final days of the Second World War, large sections of the museum building and valuable collection holdings were destroyed. During the GDR years, the museum took on a similar role to the Federal Republic's "National Centre for Health Education" through its "Institute of Health Education". After 1991, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum received a completely new design as a "Museum of the Human Being" which picks up the threads of its innovative approach in the founder years with the assistance of modern methods.
