Wilhelm-Fabry-Museum, Medical history museum in Hilden, Germany.

The Wilhelm-Fabry-Museum occupies two buildings, including a former distillery from 1867, displaying medical artifacts and surgical instruments from different periods.

The museum honors Wilhelm Fabry, born in 1560 near the current location, who established scientific surgery principles and practiced medicine until his death in 1634.

The facility maintains a children's art library where local students can borrow artwork, connecting medical history with artistic expression through various exhibitions.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 20:00, while admission costs 3 euros for adults.

The museum preserves one of Rheinland's oldest steam engines from 1887, now electrically operated to demonstrate historical distillation processes.
