German Röntgen Museum, Scientific museum in Remscheid, Germany.
The German Röntgen Museum in Remscheid displays original apparatus and interactive exhibits tracing X-ray technology from the 1800s to modern times. The collection shows how this discovery developed and how it shaped medical practice and scientific research.
The museum opened in 1932 to preserve the work of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who discovered X-rays in 1895. This breakthrough earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics and launched modern radiology as a medical field.
