From the Pergamon to the Bode, Berlin's best museums tell the story of Germany's history

You won't want to miss Berlin's all-night-long techno parties – be sure to leave time for the vast range of museums here, too.

The German capital boasts almost 200 of them, ranging from world-renowned historical galleries to newer, more – unusual collections – many housed in creatively repurposed spaces. 

History buffs will unsurprisingly find much to love here, with monuments and museums that explore the complicated, often cruel eras of the Weimar Republic, the German Reich and the communist GDR.

The Berlin of today, meanwhile, has a famously rebellious, artistic spirit – one that informs a variety of contemporary art collections and forward-looking exhibits that tackle of-the-moment issues like gentrification and the climate crisis.  

Here's our list of the most interesting museums in Berlin . 

Bunker down at Sammlung Boros in Mitte 

This converted Nazi-era bunker in Mitte offers a memorable – and oh-so-Berlin – way to experience contemporary art. With no signs identifying the institution and access only granted by advance reservation, it's not your typical user-friendly art hall.

Over the years, the imposing building has had several uses, including as an air-raid shelter during World War II and later as a techno and fetish club. Upon arrival, visitors have to knock on the door and wait to be let in. 

On display, are selections from a private collection of around 500 works by artists including Damien Hurst and Ai Weiwei, spread across five floors. The collector who amassed these holdings currently lives with his family in a private apartment on the top floor of the building (unfortunately, not part of the tour). Exhibitions get completely refreshed every few months and often feature new acquisitions.

Tours fill up quickly, so you'll need to reserve well ahead of your visit. 

Take a tour of a former Stasi prison – led by a former prisoner 

Located in an outlying area of the former East Berlin, an hour away from the city center, this  former political prison  once run by the notorious Stasi is well worth the trek. 

From 1951 to 1989, thousands of GDR opponents and political prisoners were detained here. But what makes the place particularly special are the tours run by former prisoners, who recount gripping details of their time in prison, or by PhD students, who share sinister details about the psychological torture and interrogation techniques used. 

The site has a small cafe, but bring snacks and drinks with you, as (unsurprisingly) the site of secretive political prison hasn't attracted many nearby cafes and restaurants. 

If you're short on time, the slightly closer-in  Stasi Museum  – which occupies the security service's former headquarters – offers a similarly dark and eerie experience, including exhibitions documenting the agency's insidious methods. 

14 best things to do in Berlin  

Learn about German-Jewish history at Jüdisches Museum

Berlin's  Jewish Museum (Jüdisches Museum)  occupies both a baroque palace and a contemporary wing made of metal and glass, with a zigzag floor plan. Architect Daniel Libeskind wanted to design a place that was more than just a building, but a way to recount German-Jewish history.

The result is an immersive, often unsettling experience, with a disorienting basement in which visitors can get lost among underground axes, sloping floors, angled walls and bare concrete "voids." 

For example, stumble up the "axis of the Holocaust" and you'll find an unmarked, heavy, black door. Step through it into the "voided void" – a cold, dimly lit tower with muffled sounds outside – and feel a chill down your spine. 

Elsewhere, the Shalekhet (fallen leaves) installation covers the floor with 10,000 heavy iron plates etched with faces, representing the victims of war. This large-scale display exemplifies the thoughtful, artistic and moving approach this museum takes to its complex subject matter.

Glimpse what the future holds at Futurium

If you'd like to see what the future holds, Berlin's new Futurium is the place to go. Opened in 2019 and located next to Berlin's central station, Futurium's large exhibition floor imagines the future of cities, work, travel and medicine. Exhibits touch on significant issues of our time, like climate change, technology, and nature's relationship. 

A talking robot greets visitors at the entrance, while the exhibition itself encourages you to reflect on provocative ideas – like your consumption or how far you'd be willing to go to protect the climate – through interactive exhibits. 

If you've ever pondered questions like "Will my robot and I grow old together?" or "Will I eat grasshoppers for breakfast?" you might find answers here.   

Immerse yourself in art history on Museum Island 

Several of Berlin's most popular museums are conveniently clumped together on Museum Island, giving visitors the chance to pick a few and explore them in one (long) day.

Perhaps most famous is the Pergamonmuseum , which controversially houses pieces hauled to Germany from the Middle East, including the magnificent Ishtar Gate, which once served as a portal to the inner city of ancient Babylon. 

Right next door is the Neues Museum , where you can see works from ancient Egypt, including the 3300-year-old bust of Nefertiti. Despite controversies over Berlin's acquisition and refusal to return it, the bust is a must-see for history buffs.

If that leaves you hungry for more, the full-to-bursting collections of the  Altes Museum , Altes Nationalgalerie , Bode-Museum and Deutsches Historical Museum are all just a short walk away. 

Join the protest at FHXB Museum

Lovingly curated by local residents, the Kreuzberg Friedrichshain museum explores squatting, protest movements and the gentrification of Kreuzberg, Berlin's best-known arts district. Themes tackled by the museum remain relevant today, as steeply rising rents and gentrification threaten to displace local residents and artist studios in the area.

It's also ideally located just off Oranienstrasse, a street with some of the city's best bars and restaurants, making it a great place to go before a night out. After your visit, we recommend getting a cocktail while sitting on a bunk bed at the Multilayerladen bar, just across the street.

Top 20 things to do for free in Berlin  

Embrace the surreal at Design Panoptikum

A place to let your creative imagination run free, the Design Panoptikum  in Mitte displays objects such as dummies, medical devices, globes, gas masks, ski boots and musical instruments in weird and unexpected displays. Spooky, whimsical and playful, the place is an upbeat ode to creativity – it deliberately doesn't include objects of torture or violence. 

Charismatic owner Vlad began amassing these objects 15 years ago. His collection has now expanded to around 1000 pieces bought cheaply from flea markets , antique shops and scouring the internet. Stick around to ask him questions after your visit: it's half the fun. 

Berlin's best neighborhoods 

Enjoy a masterpiece of a building (and a stirring collection) at Neues Nationalgalerie

The Neues Nationalgalerie brings together key artworks from the 20th century, including pieces by Salvador Dalí, Edvard Munch, Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso. Designed by Mies van der Rohe and opened in 1968, the museum's original building – almost a temple of high modernism – is a work of art in itself.

Highlights of the collection include works by artists deemed "degenerate" under National Socialism and rich holdings of works that depict the dark side of Berlin's heyday in the early 20th century. Look out for iconic Berlin-centric canvases like Potsdamer Platz by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and The Skat Players by Otto Dix.

Hop on board the gallery train at Hamburger Bahnhof

Located in a large former train station, the Hamburger Bahnhof holds one of the world's most significant collections of contemporary art, from the 1950s to the present. Spread over around 13,000 sq m (139,930 sq ft) this art hall showcases works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Joseph Beuys and other 20th-century and contemporary artists. 

Tip: wear comfortable shoes that are easy to take off, as some video installations require you to wear your socks. Also, be sure to give yourself enough time to get lost in the sprawling galleries.

10 Best Museums in Berlin

By Jennifer Ceaser

Berlin is well known for its voracious nightlife, but by day, its visual art scene is equally thrilling. There's some 175 museums and art collections—easy in a weekend, right?—but you can always start on Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with five major institutions like the Pergamonmuseum (undergoing renovations and slated to reopen in late 2019) dedicated to ancient art and archaeology. Given Berlin’s complex past, there are also a number of museums for history buffs, many unflinching, looking at the horrors of Nazi Germany and Berlin's later history as a divided city. But Berlin isn’t content to live in the past. A magnet for international artists, the city boasts a dynamic contemporary art scene, with cutting-edge spaces like C/O Berlin, KINDL, and Sammlung Boros. Here are 10 of the best museums, an art primer to Berlin.

Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art Arrow

With works by top graffiti artists like Banksy going for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, it's perhaps not surprising that there's now a museum dedicated to this art form. Opened in 2017, Germany's first street art museum is set in a converted residential building in an edgy area of Schöneberg, whose streets are brimming with graffiti murals. The museum's façade is a canvas for continually changing artwork; inside, the modern, tri-level space is open and airy, and as you would expect, popular with Instagrammers.

Pergamonmuseum Arrow

The stately Pergamonmuseum, one of the highlights of Museum Island, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with five historical institutions devoted to art and archaeology. Built over 20 years and opened in 1930, the enormous three-wing museum is packed with ancient treasures from Rome, Greece, and the Middle East, some dating back 6,000 years. Its star attraction—and the museum’s namesake—is the Pergamon Altar, a masterpiece of Hellenistic art from 180–160 B.C. This is one of Berlin’s most-visited museums, so even though it’s large, expect a queue.

C/O Berlin Arrow

This building has a history: Now a contemporary photography museum, the former Amerika Haus, a mid-1950s building designed by German architect Bruno Grimmek, served as a cultural center of the United States for Berliners—basically, a place to learn about American culture—following World War II and welcomed notable figures like Robert Kennedy. The two-story, glass-and-concrete modernist building was renovated and opened as the C/O Berlin in 2014, but it still retains many original design details, notably the huge block letters spelling out "Amerika Haus" on the colorful facade.

Stasi Museum Arrow

It’s not surprising that the former headquarters of the Stasi, East Germany's brutal secret police, would be a sinister place. Located in a rundown area in East Berlin, the complex is where Erich Mielke, the Minister for State Security from 1957 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, ordered the surveillance and physical and psychological torture of millions of East German citizens. The site opened as the Stasimuseum, three floors of exhibition space about the methods of the secret police, in November 1990.

Charlottenburg Palace Arrow

Built in 1699 as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, wife of King Friedrich I, this massive, multi-winged baroque structure is Berlin’s largest palace. Heavily damaged in World War II and rebuilt and restored over several decades, the palace is home to a number of priceless collections, including royal porcelain and silver, crown jewels, and important 18th-century French paintings by artists such as Antoine Watteau. The rooms themselves, most of which were entirely reconstructed, feature ornate plasterwork, gilding, and frescoes, all based on original designs. The highlight is the gardens, created in the French and English style, with orderly hedges, fountains, ponds, and tree-lined gravel paths.

Berlin Wall Memorial Arrow

This free indoor/outdoor museum and memorial is the best place to learn how the Berlin Wall sprung up, practically overnight, what life was like in the former East German state, and the heroic (and heartbreaking) attempts people made to reunite with their families. As you walk along this one-mile stretch of Bernauer Strasse, an open-air exhibit features photographs and signs detailing the stories on either side of the barrier. There’s also a preserved piece of the original border wall and a watchtower, as well as an indoor visitor center with exhibits chronicling the political and historical events surrounding the city’s division.

KINDL - Centre for Contemporary Art Arrow

In Neukölln, a district known more for edgy bars than art venues, the KINDL is an off-the-beaten-path museum worth seeking out. The setting alone is quite impressive, inside the former Kindl brewery—a massive 1920s red-brick structure with a boiler house, a three-story powerhouse, and a brew house that now has an excellent cafe and seasonal beer garden. Opened as an arts center in 2016, KINDL doesn't have a permanent collection, but themed group shows appear, and a single artist will create a site-specific piece every year—like a full-sized spinning plane—in the boiler house.

Neues Museum Arrow

The classical Neues is home to several collections from the Ancient World, from the Paleolithic period to the Middle Ages, but it’s best known as Berlin’s Egyptian museum. It showcases art, artifacts, statues, vessels, manuscripts on papyrus, as well as magnificent burial chambers from Egypt dating from around 2500 BC. There are around 9,000 objects on view, but it's the bust of Nefertiti, the ancient Egyptian "Green Head" sculpture, and the "Berlin Gold Hat," a ceremonial gold headdress stamped with celestial bodies, that draw crowds.

Jewish Museum Berlin Arrow

Incorporating both an 18th-century building and a zigzagging contemporary metal addition by Daniel Libeskind, the Jewish Museum Berlin is as well known for its architecture as for its collection. Visitors enter through the landmark baroque palace and follow a staircase down into the new extension, an underground space of angled walls that's wholly disorienting. There's no clear path to follow: The routes lead to different spaces, including five dramatic concrete-walled "voids." The most famous of these is the Shalekhet (Fallen Leaves) installation by Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman, where visitors walk across a floor piled high with iron faces carved with open mouths, a disturbing exercise done in total silence.

Sammlung Boros Arrow

A renovated Nazi-era bunker in the now-posh Mitte district houses this private collection of contemporary art, owned by Christian and Karen Boros (who actually live in an apartment on the roof). The selection of sculpture, paintings, photographs, and installations by international artists rotate every four years, but have recently featured contemporary artists like Katja Novitskova, Guan Xiao, and Kris Martin. A guided tour across its five floors reveals not only the impressive collection but also the long history of the bunker, which was used as a Nazi air raid shelter and later became an underground techno club (you can still see vestiges of fluorescent paint in some rooms and stairwells). Tours (required) book up months in advance, so plan accordingly.

If you only want to visit a couple museums, and don’t need the other benefits of the Berlin Welcome card (like public transportation) just buy one or more individual tickets. Note that many museums now require timed entry, so be sure to book tickets in advance so you can get your preferred day and time.

Berlin Museum Pass

The Berlin Museum Pass gives you free entry to over 30 exhibitions and museums for 3 consecutive days. It includes Museum Island and a number of museums which you can find here .

Can you see 30 museums in 3 days? Nope! But with some planning you could probably see 6-9 museums. More if you want to speed through them. If you hit up the right combo of museums, you’ll save money by day 2.

When we were last in Berlin we got Aaron this museum pass so he could visit several museums I’d already been to. Since he had 3 days he could devote to museums, this pass worked out well. And it paid for itself by the second day.

For a majority of the museums, you need to book a timed entry (a specific day and time), which you can easily book when you purchase the pass or later for free on each museum’s website.

I highly recommend checking prices of the museums you’d like to visit and which days/times are available for the timed-entry museums, and then creating a schedule on paper. Be sure to factor in travel time between museums and enough time to get a snack, lunch, etc. This way you can be sure you’ll get your money’s worth out of the pass and that you’ll be able to get a timed entry for your desired days and times.

It took me a bit to figure out a schedule that would work but we did save a good amount of money with the pass and Aaron enjoyed visiting the museums!

To save money on entrance tickets, buy the Berlin Museum Pass here .

Berlin Museum Island Pass

If you just want to focus on the 5 museums on the museum island, this could be a good option. You can get a 1-day Museum Island Pass here .

If you’d prefer to have a guided tour, check out this skip the line ticket that includes an expert-guided tour of the Pergamon and New Museum plus a Museum Island Pass.

Berlin Welcome Card

The Berlin Welcome Card is Berlin’s official tourist ticket that gives you free access to public transportation, discounts to tourist attractions, and free entry to many museums. You can choose from different packages and durations depending on what you need. For more information on the Berlin Welcome card click here.

• Berlin Welcome Card Basic: Includes public transport in zone AB and discounts to various tourist attractions
• Berlin Welcome Card All Inclusive : Includes public transport (but can be optional), discounts and free entrance to various tourist attractions, and 1 day hop-on hop-off bus tour
• Berlin Welcome Card Museum Island: Includes public transport, discounts to various tourist attractions, and free entry to one museum on Museum Island per day

The Berlin Welcome Card might work for you…and it might not. As with the Berlin Museum Pass above, check prices of the museums you want to visit and compare to the Welcome Card options.

The Best Museums To Visit in Berlin

Steeped in history and the birthplace of some of the world’s most influential art movements, Germany’s capital leaves travellers spoiled for choice when it comes to museums. From fine-art collections to opulent palaces, Berlin’s best museums offer a rich entryway into the city’s history and contemporary culture. With more than 150 museums, Berlin is a cultural treasure trove. Visitors can experience the Boros contemporary art collection in a converted war bunker, explore the rich offering of Berlin’s acclaimed Museum Island (home to no less than five museums) or take in the architecturally acclaimed Jewish Museum.

Hamburger bahnhof, berlin.

Originally designed as one of the first major terminals of the German rail system – Bahnhof means station – this magnificent late-Neoclassical building is now home to a renowned collection of contemporary art. First erected in 1846 and located in the Moabit district of the city, Hamburger Bahnhof is Berlin’s only remaining train station from this era. Today it serves an altogether different purpose, of exhibiting an impressive permanent collection of major artistic movements from the 1960s onwards, including the revered Friedrich Christian Flick Collection, and is celebrated as one of the city’s essential cultural locations.

Sammlung Boros

Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum of Berlin may be less of a tourist magnet than the city’s main art attractions, but it’s no less intriguing to visit. One of the most important research institutions for biological and geological evolution worldwide, and boasting over 30 million items relating to zoology, palaeontology, geology and mineralogy, the museum also features a spectacular central exhibition of the largest mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world, a brachiosaurus standing over 13 metres (43 feet) tall. The museum is located in Mitte , and the surrounding streets are well worth a post-visit stroll to soak up the sights. Stop for a treat at Ballhaus Berlin, a unique 1920s-style café and bar that captures the spirit of the Weimar era.

Martin-Gropius-Bau

Showcasing a vast range of artistic styles inside a Renaissance-style building, the Martin-Gropius-Bau is one of Berlin’s most treasured museums among clued-in urbanites. The most striking features of the building are its luminous atrium and ornate mosaics, which were partially destroyed by extensive bombing in 1945 but were later restored to architectural perfection. The museum is cherished for its eclectic collection, a mixture of everything from Cindy Sherman photographs to ancient Buddha sculptures of Pakistan. Located just a short walk away from a host of tourist attractions like Checkpoint Charlie , it’s an intriguing and convenient addition to a day of Berlin sightseeing.

The Jewish Museum Berlin

The main building of the Jewish Museum Berlin is one of the most distinctive modern landmarks of the city. A dazzling architectural masterpiece, Daniel Libeskind’s acclaimed design is made up of a collection of vast zinc panels. Comprised of three separate structures in Kreuzberg , it’s the largest Jewish museum in Europe and features temporary exhibitions on cultural history, contemporary art installations and special displays, all of which complement a permanent exhibition of immense historical importance. Open daily, the museum evokes a palpable experience of the tensions of German Jewish history, not only with its confrontational content, but with the idiosyncratic layout of the space, designed specifically to augment this sentiment.

Museum Island

Located directly on the Spree River, Museum Island is not a single venue, but rather five of the most important cultural touchpoints of Germany’s capital. The entire complex includes the Altes Museum, which showcases classic work from ancient Greece to the Roman Empire; the Neues Museum, with a focus on ancient Egyptian pieces; the Alte Nationalgalerie, which features Johann Gottfried Schadow’s renowned statues of Princesses Luise and Friederike; the Bode Museum, featuring sculptures from the medieval period to the late 18th century; and the Pergamon Museum, where you can see the magnificent Ishtar Gate and Processional Way. With such an enormous collection, spanning several millennia, it’s no wonder the complex attracts hundreds of thousands of international visitors every year. It’s prudent to set aside a full day for revelling in the many mesmerising sights on offer.

König Galerie, Berlin

Founded by Johann König in 2002, König Galerie is one of the hottest art spaces among the Berlin in-crowd, regularly featuring key artists of the moment, such as Alicja Kwade. This rotating collection of cross-media installation art enjoyed numerous addresses around the city before settling at its most striking Berlin site yet in 2015 – a former church and community centre, St Agnes. Situated in the geographical centre of the city, the Brutalist complex has been cleverly repurposed by Johann and Lena König with the help of architect Arno Brandlhuber, who paid homage to its original Brutalist form in his redesign.

Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin

The Charlottenburg Palace is both visually stunning and a point of interest for visitors wanting to learn more about the pivotal role Prussia played in shaping Germany’s history. Commissioned by the wife of Friedrich I of Prussia and built at the end of the 17th century with typical Baroque opulence, the jewel in the crown of this regal structure is the top of the dome, where a gilded statue of the Roman goddess of fortune functions as a wind vane. The palace is surrounded by an array of divine gardens rich with colourful flowerbeds that are every bit as alluring as the building itself. On tours of the palace, visitors are accompanied by an audio guide illuminating the history of each room with anecdotes, giving an insight into the life of the royal family of yore.

Berlinische Galerie

No cultural escapade in Germany’s capital would be complete without a visit to the Berlinische Galerie, a museum dedicated to the creativity of Berliners. A tight curation of the city’s finest modern art, photography and architecture , the gallery has moved around several locations since its inception in 1975, finally settling in a former glass warehouse in Kreuzberg in 2004. After temporarily closing for refurbishment, the gallery recently reopened its doors to the public. Reduced-price tickets are offered on every first Monday of the month, while admission for children under 18 is always free.

As one of Europe’s capitals, Berlin is a renowned tourist destination for people around the world. Surprisingly, however, many of its museums fly under the radar of some travelers. From history to art, numerous museums are worth visiting in the German capital, no matter your interests. Here’s a list of the best museums to help inspire your Berlin travel plans.

The Best Museums in Berlin

Since its opening, the Allied Museum has been committed to educating visitors about the Allied forces of World War II. The exhibits cover the political history and development of the U.S., France, and Britain, including how these 3 nations became world leaders. 

The museum is divided into 3 main exhibits housing documents, artifacts, and artwork relating to the Allies, particularly between 1945 and 1994. There are also multiple art sculptures on the property, like the “Buddy Bear” and “The Day the Wall Came Down.” The latter even uses pieces of the old Berlin Wall to celebrate the day it was demolished.

Some pieces in the collection include military fatigues from all 3 forces, ID cards, newspapers, photos, the “Checkpoint Charlie” building, and broadcast recordings to help bring history to life. The museum also often houses temporary exhibits discussing contemporary goings in these countries. Various educational and cultural events are also held throughout the year.

Admission is free for all visitors. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Alliiertenmuseum.

• Address: Clayallee 135, 14195 Berlin, Germany

The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) houses a collection of art in its 19th-century structure. The museum is included in the Museum Island UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its unique and historic architecture and cultural importance.

The museum doesn’t focus on collecting work from any particular art style but on a time period. Virtually all of its pieces were created during the 1800s by artists from around Europe. Notably, the facility houses Germany’s most extensive collection of sculptures from this period.

Some of the museum’s most beloved pieces are Adolph von Menzel’s “The Flute Concert,” Karl Friedrich Lessing’s “The Hussite Sermon,” and Carl Steffeck’s “Portrait of the Advocate Ernst Lau.” The gallery also represents artists like Monet, Manet, and Blechen.

The current collection includes 3,500 works of art in its exhibits and archives, but this number is likely to grow as the facility slowly acquires more pieces.

Admission is €10 (~$11), though a €5 (~$5) discount is available for qualifying guests. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is U Museumsinsel.

• Address: Bodestraße 1-3, 10178 Berlin, Germany

The ANOHA Children’s Museum, opened in 2021, is one of Berlin’s newest museums. It’s become a favorite among local and visiting families with small children.

The museum aims to educate young visitors about Jewish culture and Judaism in a fun, interactive, and easy-to-understand way. The museum’s primary demographic is children between preschool and grade school, but visitors of all ages are welcome.

Though the museum’s overarching theme is the story of “Noah’s Ark,” the museum also allows children plenty of freedom to create, explore, and learn about other topics. The facility is divided into multiple interactive stations, like “Unicorn School,” “Dreams About Our Future,” and “100 Ideas for Our World,” which let children use their imagination and develop their senses.

Most of the museum’s written information is also available in simple English to better accommodate visitors from other countries. However, if you want to participate in on-site activities and events, like workshops, remember that they may only be available in German.

Admission is free for everyone. The museum is open Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Jüdisches Museum Berlin.

• Address: Fromet-und-Moses-Mendelssohn-Platz, 10969 Berlin, Germany

The Bauhaus Archive is famous worldwide for its extensive collection of design pieces. The facility showcases and houses a wide array of artwork, literature, documents, and more that showcase the history, development, and work of the Bauhaus Art Institute. The museum can, in fact, be broadly divided into a few different parts.

The first section showcases the teaching side of the institute, with books, workshop models, and more on display. Another section, instead, looks at the history of the school itself, done through photos and documents. The last section of the museum showcases art that Bauhaus students created.

The museum houses over 90,000 pieces, though only a fraction are displayed at any given time. Since the Bauhaus school taught all types of fine arts, the museum houses paintings, ceramics, furniture, textiles, and more.

The Bauhaus Archive also hosts 4 temporary exhibits each year. Though many are held in German, the space also hosts educational and cultural events. Admission is free for all visitors. The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Lützowplatz.

• Address: Klingelhöferstraße 14, 10785 Berlin, Germany

The Bauhaus Archive is currently closed for several years due to renovations, but a temporary museum is open at Knesebeckstrasse 1, 10623 Berlin-Charlottenburg. The nearest transit stop is U Ernst-Reuter-Platz.

Previously known as the Emperor Frederick Museu, the Bode-Museum is home to 3 separate exhibit spaces to display over 500,000 items. Each of these spaces focuses on a different topic.

The Skulpturensammlung space houses one of Germany’s largest and most comprehensive collections of statues throughout history. The Museum of Byzantine Art area houses art and artifacts from the Byzantine Empire.

Last but not least, the Münzkabinett part of the Bode-Museum building houses mostly historical sculptures, coins, medals, and other jewelry items. Since the museum showcases so many different artifacts, visitors can learn about art, history, and culture all in 1 place.

Some of the museum’s highlighted pieces are “Mosaic Icon Featuring Christ the Merciful,” from Constantinople, “Satyr with Panther” by Pietro Bernini, and a sculpture showcasing the liberation of a besieged city. The museum’s exhibits notably cover a wide array of periods, with thousands of years of history from around the world on display.

Admission is €10 (~$11), but a €5 (~$5) discount is available for qualifying visitors. Admission is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Monbijouplatz.

First opened in 1997, the Computerspielemuseum is Berlin’s premier video game and arcade museum. It hosted online exhibits for a time but reopened as a physical museum in 2011.

Despite its relatively small space, the museum houses thousands of pieces, ranging from video games to magazines. This collection will likely grow as the facility acquires more pieces and video games change.

The museum has a singular main gallery that’s always open. This gallery showcases the evolution of the gaming industry. This exhibit space contains over 300 stations, including interactive displays, that give visitors a thorough look at the history of games.

Computerspielemuseum hosts various events and temporary exhibits throughout the year and even loans some of its collection to other facilities. One of the museum’s missions is to preserve digital artifacts for future generations, allowing it to save some rare or otherwise obsolete pieces from being completely lost to history.

Admission is free for children under 6, €7 (~$7) for children, students, and those who qualify for reduced tickets, and €11 (~$12) for adults. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Weberwiese.

• Address: Karl-Marx-Allee 93A, 10243 Berlin, Germany

“If you ever happen to visit the Computerspielemuseum — the world’s first museum dedicated to computer and video games — be sure to check out the Poly-Play: It’s the only arcade machine ever developed in East Germany. You will rarely find another one of these elsewhere in the world.” Matthias Oborski, exhibition director, Computerspielemuseum

Opened in 2006, the DDR Museum uses artifacts and interactive exhibits to help visitors learn about life in East Germany after the Second World War.

For example, some exhibits show guests what it was like to be under constant surveillance and what a typical apartment would have looked like in this part of Berlin. The museum has several artifacts that can be picked up and worn to fully immerse guests in the experience.

The museum has 35 main sections focusing on themes like music, fashion, economics, and politics. So, while the entire museum is historic in nature, there are spaces that people with a wide variety of interests can appreciate.

The DDR Museum has become so popular that shortly after its opening, it was considered one of the best in Europe. The museum also houses special exhibits throughout the year examining parts of Germany’s DDR history.

Admission is free for children under 6, €8 (~$8) for children 6 and up, students, national military personnel, and visitors with disabilities, and €13.50 (~$15) for adults. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Museumsinsel.

• Address: Vera Britain Ufer, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 1, 10178 Berlin, Germany

First opened in 1980, the Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand (German Resistance Memorial Center) is meant to honor all the Germans who resisted the rule Nazi party during their time in power. Notably, the structure commemorates those who attempted to remove Hitler from power since it’s located on the spot of their strategy meeting.

The museum’s exhibits aim to give visitors a comprehensive and contextual look at Germany during the 1940s . In particular, they showcase the rise and fall of the Nazi party and how the politics of the time affected German culture. The main exhibit centers around the “July 20 Plot,” which saw numerous military leaders come together in an attempt to overthrow the regime.

The museum uses photos, documents, and artifacts to offer guests a better understanding of one of the most critical periods in recent history. The structure displays over 5,000 items in total. Other pieces from the archives or on loan from other facilities are often displayed in temporary gallery spaces.

Admission is free for everyone. The museum is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The nearest transit stop is Gedenkstätte.

• Address: Stauffenbergstraße 13, 10785 Berlin, Germany

Housing the largest portion of Berlin’s State Museum pieces, the Gemäldegalerie (Painting Gallery) has one of the most comprehensive collections of art from the 13th to 18th centuries. The museum houses work from some of Europe’s most renowned artists.

To create a cohesive experience, the museum has organized its pieces into groups of artistic styles or periods. However, some of the more prominent artists are given more attention. For example, Rembrandt has his own room, as does Raphael.

The museum showcases around 1,400 works of art at any given time, spread out among 18 rooms and 41 art cabinets. However, this collection is likely to continue growing as pieces are acquired or brought out of the archives.

Some highlighted pieces in the collection are “The Marsham Children” by Thomas Gainsborough, “Lady and Gentleman Drinking Wine” by Jan Vermeer van Delft, and “Mary with the Child and John the Baptist and John the Apostle” by Sandro Botticelli.

Admission is €9 (~$10) for qualifying visitors and €18 (~$19) for the general public. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Tiergartenstr.

• Address: Matthäikirchplatz, 10785 Berlin, Germany

The Jewish Museum Berlin opened in 2001 as a history and culture museum intended to teach visitors about Judaism and Jewish customs from the Middle Ages through the modern day.

The idea of the current museum stems from the original Jewish Museum Berlin, which opened in 1933, but which had to close after the rise of the Nazi power. Another facility wouldn’t open again until the 1970s. The museum has a single main exhibit, further divided into 5 spaces to recount the history of Jewish life in the German territory.

Notably, the museum uses texts, artifacts, and stories from actual Jewish families to ensure the museum presents this history authentically. However, the museum is ever-changing and consistently hosts special exhibitions yearly.

The museum has hundreds of thousands of purchased and donated artifacts, many of which are texts housed in the on-site library. Other pieces are kept safe in the facility’s archives. Admission to the main exhibits is free for everyone. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The nearest transit stop is the Jüdisches Museum.

• Address: Lindenstraße 9-14, 10969 Berlin, Germany

The Martin-Gropius-Bau is known for being one of the best exhibition centers in the country. Originally built in the 19th century, it was intended as a museum for the decorative and applied arts. However, this function changed after the First World War. Subsequently, it was used as a museum of prehistory before eventually becoming a showcase space, particularly for contemporary artists.

Some of the most notable past exhibitions hosted in the museum recently include Anish Kapoor’s “Kapoor in Berlin,” a gallery of Barbara Klein photos, and an exhibit dedicated to the Vikings.

Since the museum is quite large, more than 1 gallery is usually hosted at the same time. These exhibitions tend to vary in style and medium, showcasing everything from paintings to digital art and photos. Though they’re rotated regularly, some galleries are displayed for a month or 2, while others can be housed here for a year or more.

Admission is €6 (~$6) for those who qualify for a reduced-rate ticket and €9 (~$10) for the general public. The museum is open Wednesday to Friday and Monday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Potsdamer Platz.

• Address: Niederkirchnerstraße 7, 10963 Berlin, Germany

Housing roughly 20,000 artifacts, the Asian Art Museum in Berlin is one of the largest of its kind in the world. The museum’s original collection began in 1873, though at this time, it mainly housed art and artifacts from India. It wasn’t until later that work from other Asian countries began to be part of the facility.

Today, the facility represents virtually all South, Southeast, and Central Asian regions. The gallery doesn’t focus on any particular type of art, but its collection of murals and sculptures is particularly notable. The museum also houses Germany’s most extensive art collection from China, Korea, and Japan, with 13,000 pieces from these parts of the continent alone.

The museum’s oldest pieces date back to the Neolithic period, ensuring virtually every period of Asian history is represented in the facility. Some of the collection’s highlights are the “Processional Bull Nandi” sculpture, the “Seated Buddha” statue, and the “Ceremonial Yue Axe.”

Admission is free for all guests. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Berliner Schloss – Berlin.

• Address: Schloßpl., 10178 Berlin, Germany

Berlin’s natural history museum, Museum für Naturkunde , is one of the largest museums in Germany. First opened in 1810, the museum’s collection has grown to encompass millions of artifacts dating back millions of years. Since the collection is extensive, only a fraction of the structure’s features can be displayed simultaneously. The others are, instead, kept in archives or used for research.

Some of the museum’s collections are historical in their own right. For example, many of the specimens in the mineral department once belonged to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, which existed in the 18th century. The museum is also home to the world’s largest mounted dinosaur and one of the best examples of an early bird species.

The structure is divided into 5 exhibits covering dinosaurs, minerals, evolution, skeletons, and “wet specimens,” kept in jars. To accommodate visitors from around the world, much of the information is written in multiple languages, including English.

Admission is €5 (~$5) for children 15 and under, students, visitors with disabilities, and unemployed visitors, €9 (~$10) for families, and €11 (~$12) for adults. The museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Naturkundemuseum.

• Address: Invalidenstraße 43, 10115 Berlin, Germany

Due to its architecture and cultural contributions, the Neues Museum (New Museum) is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Museum Island.

The museum is home to multiple exhibit spaces, including the Egyptian Museum wing, the Papyrus Department, the Museum of Pre and Early History, and a portion of the Antikensammlung collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities. This variety of departments helps the museum create a comprehensive experience for those interested in learning about ancient history.

Some pieces on display in the facility are “The Crown of Kerch,” artifacts from Alexander the Great’s empire, busts of Queen Nefertiti, Cleopatra, and Caesar, and portions of ancient Greek and Roman temples.

Additionally, the museum hosts specialty museums and educational and outreach events for people of all ages. However, these events are typically held in German. The museum has 9,000 artifacts in its care, between those on display and those in the facility’s archives.

Admission is €7 (~$7) for those who qualify for a reduced ticket and €14 (~$15) for the general public. The museum is open Friday through Sunday, Tuesday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The nearest transit stop is Hackescher Markt station.

Located on the site where important governmental buildings stood during the Nazi regime, the Topography of Terror museum aims to ensure that the horrors of the Second World War aren’t forgotten. The museum is divided into 2 sections: the outdoor and indoor exhibits. Temporary exhibits and special events are also held on the premises.

The indoor portion of the museum uses photos, documents, videos, and other types of media to teach visitors what the Gestapo and regime security organizations did . One of the missions of this part of the facility is to prevent such things from happening again.

Instead, the museum’s outdoor portion is divided into 15 stations. These stations take visitors through the grounds to learn what the area looked like when its 20th-century buildings were still standing. Another part of the outdoor exhibit is the “Exhibition Trench,” a photographic timeline of Germany’s evolution between 1933 and 1945.

Admission is free for all visitors. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The nearest transit stop is S&U Potsdamer Platz.

• Address: Niederkirchnerstraße 8, 10963 Berlin, Germany

Best art museums and galleries in Berlin

1.  Contemporary Fine Arts

Arguably Berlin’s best-known gallery space, Contemporary Fine Arts has been promoting idiosyncratic art from around the world since 1992. Run by Nicole Hackert and Bruno Brunnet, CFA’s programme blends the outré and fresh with big names in their airy Chipperfield-designed building near Museum Island. The diversity of the roster means that at any one time, you’re likely to see works by everyone from Berlin’s infamous Jonathan Meese to Georg Baselitz, Marc Brandenburg, the late Norbert Schwontkowski, Gert and Uwe Tobias, Daniel Richter and Katja Strunz, as well as Brits including Sarah Lucas, Peter Doig and Chris Ofili.

2.  East Side Gallery

This mile-long section of the Berlin Wall preserves the paintings made on the Wall’s eastern side when it was brought down and is one of the most significant open-air permanent art exhibits in the world. The East Side Gallery, featuring over 100 murals, graffiti artworks, slogans and tags executed by a collective of Berlin artists, is a memorial to the pioneering street spirit that buzzed around the city during reunification. Today the Gallery’s artworks are almost as anachronistic as the Wall itself and are in constant danger of vanishing under duress of the elements, lack of resources for restoration and countless scribbles from tourists, graffiti artists and vandals. Although attempting to preserve the spirit of the time, an argument blew up when the restoration project of recent years was seen to overstep the mark, with original artworks being painted over without the artists’ permission. Despite this, the Gallery is still essential, providing a flavour of the city’s cultural and artistic history.

3.  Galerie Capitain Petzel

Housed in a dramatic, Soviet-era modernist block at the top of the Frankfurter Allee in East Berlin, Capitain Petzel is a light and airy space that, in a former life, was used to showcase ideologically-friendly art during the GDR era. Today, thanks to Cologne gallerist Gisela Capitain and her partner Friedrich Petzel, the programme takes in a wide range of contemporary artists from around the world, including John Stezaker, Wade Guyton, Martin Kippenberger and Sarah Morris. Even if none of these names draws you, Petzel’s premises are worth visiting for the architecture alone. 

4.  Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien

Far removed from the swanky galleries out West and in Mitte, Künstlerhaus Bethanien is both an exhibition space and a studio for working artists. Bethanien is a former hospital built in 1847 under the orders of Frederick William IV, and today the impressive grounds house contemporary art with a sociopolitical bent. The open studio events get lively, especially in the summer months.

5.  König Galerie

Johann König (half-brother of New York gallerist Leo and son of museum-man Kaspar) is one of Berlin’s bona fide iconoclasts. After opening his gallery aged 21 in 2002, he promptly eschewed convention by inviting his friend, artist Jeppe Hein, to install a wrecking ball that swung about perilously, knocking chunks out of the gallery walls whenever anyone entered the room. Nearly two decades later, König is regarded as one of the leading lights in a gallery scene that’s certainly not short of wilful, eccentric and obstinate characters. Today the gallery has taken up residence at St. Agnes Church, an imposing Brutalist structure.

6.  KW Institute for Contemporary Art

Housed in a former margarine factory, Kunst Werke has been a major non-profit showcase for new talent since the early 1990s. Today curator Ellen Blumenstein promises more emollient, audience-friendly programmes, insisting the institution move back from the (occasionally) esoteric and baffling and return to engaging with the public. A lively programme of exhibitions, film screenings, talks and presentations means that 20 years on, KW remains very much at the heart of Berlin’s cultural agenda.

7.  Galerie Eigen + Art

Gerd Harry ‘Judy’ Lybke is one of the more eccentric characters on the Berlin art scene. A charismatic colossus of post-reunification German creativity, Lybke – along with Christian Ehrentraut and tutor Matthias Kleindienst – nurtured the so-called ‘Leipzig School’ in the early 1990s. Lybke, perhaps more than anyone, recognised the value of exporting the distinctive blend of figurative and abstract painting, executed at a time of unprecedented upheaval, to collectors worldwide. In doing so, he made art stars out of the likes of Neo Rauch and Matthias Weischer, for whom he once life-modelled back in the early 1980s at Leipzig’s Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst.

8.  DAADGalerie

A steadfast local institution on the city’s contemporary art scene, DAADGalerie, founded with funding from the USA’s Ford Foundation, is steeped in post-war Berlin history. Its ongoing Berliner Künstlerprogramm sees 20 artists take on an annual residence, the fruits of which are exhibited just steps from Checkpoint Charlie.

9.  Sammlung Boros

More museum than a gallery, this concrete bunker from the Second World War has been transformed into a 3,000-square-metre space containing the formidable collection of advertising mogul Christian Boros and his wife, Karen. Works on view include contemporary titans such as Olafur Eliasson and Sarah Lucas and a healthy selection of local and international names that have caught Boros’s beady eye. Tours are on weekends by appointment only. Book well in advance through the website.

10.  Schinkel Pavillon

This gallery space is in the gardens of the Kronprinzenpalais, which itself claims to be the world’s first contemporary art institution (the palace displayed work by Berlin’s expressionists from 1918 until the Nazis closed it down for showing ‘degenerate’ art). Today Schinkel Pavillon ’s octagonal pavilion with its wall-to-ceiling glass, designed to GDR specifications in 1969, happily shows all manner of installation, sculpture and performance art, cheerily degenerate or not.

11.  BQ Berlin

After partaking in Gallery Weekend for the first time in 2019, BQ quickly became the epicentre of art-world discussion. Leda Bourgogne’s ‘Skinless’, with its multimedia reflection on human skin, made a particular impression on critics, while Raphaela Vogel also presented a surrealist series titled ‘Vogelspinne’, blending sound collage, sculpture and painting. Co-run by Yvonne Quirmbach and Jörn Bötnagel, the Berlin-Mitte gallery focuses on emerging talent (and does it well). 

12.  Galerie Buchholz

A hushed repository of elegance and refinement along Charlottenburg’s Fasanenstrasse, this gallery left Cologne in 2008 after 20 years and moved to Berlin. Run jointly with Christopher Müller, it represents a raft of well-known names, including 2006 Turner Prize winner Tomma Abts, Wolfgang Tillmans and Richard Hawkins.

13.  Fluentum

Markus Hannebauer (a Berlin software entrepreneur) opened the doors to his private collection of time-based art in 2019. Housed in the former US Army headquarters on the western outskirts of Berlin, Fluentum is an idiosyncratic space, but the interplay of light and dark elements in the military building work to enrich, rather than overshadow, the works on display. For now, Fluentum operates on an appointment-only basis.
