On my last day in Dresden I went to the German Hygiene Museum. Quite an interesting experience.
It may seem like it would be all about hygiene, but it was more about health, the body and life. The special exhibit for the next few months is all about death, with hundreds of artists portraying death with real bodies, pictures, videos and stories. Varying opinions and beliefs on death, many provoking discussion between tour groups.

Lots of info on how the body works. Pretty cool stuff. Covered eating, drinking, touching, aka, the senses. Another room was all about sex, another about the brain. For only 3 Euros, it was a steal for a couple hours on a cold, rainy day in Dresden.
The Hygiene Museum is located in the central park of Dresden, which houses the soccer team's stadium, a botanical garden, a VW plant, tons of walking paths as well as an awesome palace.
