Very cheap tickets only €6! If you don't speak German, bring a German friend as there were many judgmental looks from staff and elderly guests when we spoke English, could've been the time of day we went? (Early afternoon). Not sure if it's worth the trip out of the main Berlin area and overall I was slightly disappointed because it looked so beautiful in pictures!

The ticket buying part was confusing but well worth the hassle…read more This place is absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that we spent the day here! We plan to buy a yearly membership so we can visit often.

Apparently, most people don't view this as a holiday activity as the place was deserted. Ideal for Ian to get his war knowledge on. The complex has a watchtower, piece of the Berlin Wall, a British plane and even the original Checkpoint Charlie station. However, the real treasure lies inside. Located in an old American movie theater, the museum documents the roles of the Western Allies in Berlin between 1945 and 1994 with extensive displays and changing special exhibits. The focus is on the Berlin Airlift and the Cold War and the American perspective is a bit different from many museums in Berlin. Best of all - the place is free! If you can make it all the way out here, it is well worth the trip.

The hanging displays outside will take a good 2 hours to read and digest. Make sure to find the start and work your way forward, I started at the wrong end. Then after you finish outside go inside the museum to learn more. If you don't like to read, audio tours are available. I learned a lot about Siemens and VW involvement during this era. Shocking!

This is one of several museums in Berlin focusing on the history leading up to, during and post the…read moreHolocaust, World War II, the Nazi atrocities committed against Jews, minorities, LGBTQ and disabled peoples. The museum is located on land that used to be a former gestapo headquarters, along a long section of the Berlin Wall still standing in the city center, now outfitted with exhibits related to the museum as well. The interior of the museum consists of a chronological installation of the rise of Nazism, the both a subversive and swift movement that resulted in mass persecution, incarceration and annihilation of millions of people. They took a lot of care to include photos, images of documents, charts and diagrams of different elements of the Nazi movement, the main perpetrators of atrocities, while also highlighting the lives of those affected, suffering, and killed. The atmosphere inside was somber, though in a way hopeful--if you visit a location like this, (hopefully) you came to respect and learn, be saddened and moved by the past, and be compelled to stand for never again allowing this to happen.* It's terrific that this museum is open 10-8pm daily, and is free of charge. It shows commitment to being accessible and sharing this important story. Audio guides available in different languages. Almost all the displays were in both German and English. Bathrooms available downstairs, there is a library and education center downstairs as well. *I hope this also moves people to take a look at what's going on in the world thru different lenses and perspectives, as there are currently many injustices and oppressive practices less publicized by or more quickly cycled out of the American media. I hope this also prompts individuals to ask whether their own beliefs and actions could result in causing prejudice, hatred or mistreatment toward others not like themselves, and be more accepting of others.

Urban Nation is an amazing place for art lover…read more I"ve been here couple times and never got bored or disappointed. The gallery offer many amazing works from different artists. I love most the style they presented and great to get some new inspiration. It is free to visit and they usually change each exhibition between 1-3 months period of time. So visitors can have more time for the exhibition they interested at. They also paint the wall of the building outside time to time, very cool and camera ready.

I decided to visit this one even though it involved an exhibit by Yoko Ono. The building looks like a simple, square building from the exterior. You go downstairs to purchase tickets. It cost $20 Euro. I had to drink all my water. No water bottles allowed around the art exhibits. I checked out the Yoko Ono "experience" first. You know, observer as artist. The audience partakes in taping pieces of broken white ceramic pieces and placing them on a white shelf to be observed. I did not participate. There are exhibits on the first floor and basement levels. More artwork than what I expected. They have a great collection of old and modern art. Many statues outside to observe. They set aside one door to enter and exit. I finished my visit with the interactive installation on the first floor. It had instructions posted before you could enter. The instructions were to take off your shoes and walk through slowly. It was one of those feelings where you actually do become a little disorientated and claustrophobic. My favorite piece.

Thus, there are always new art-viewing experiences to be had. The art in this museum is housed in a very beautiful, architecturally well-designed, structure. It is quite nice to simply stand outside and view. Plus, there is a lot of outdoor space around this museum. So, you can sit back and take in the day either before you go inside or afterwords. In terms of the interior gallery space, this museum is broken up into numerous rooms. The art is nicely separated by artist or by school of art. It is really a nice experience walking from room to room, taking in the various forms of art and artist that is offered. There is also a very nice curated outdoor art space associated with this museum. There you will see nice sculptures and the like. Overall, this is one of my favorite Art Spots in Berlin. Great Museum showing Great Works of Art!

The other day I was reading some articles about the museums in Berlin, and the I read something…read moreabout Museum Europäischer Kulturen, soon got me interested, so I decided to find a time to and pay a visit. So did, the museum is really nice, very interesting and cultural. Museum Europäischer Kulturen holds collections from 1800 to the present day. It's actually smaller than I expected, but there are some cool stuff, such as traditional accessories, costumes to the modern fashions. It also presents the 12 meter long Weihnachtsberg (Christmas Mountain), which looks really cool and fun. Don't miss that. This is also the way to the Junior museum, which a like a playground for kids. I found the idea is really nice, they also consider some programs for family activity. I do like this museum, the clerks are really friendly and helpful. Info flyers are very easy to find. If it is bigger, I'm sure will like it even more. The journey was just a bit too short for me. his museum is of part of the Dahlem museums, they are all in the same building and they allow you go from one to the others without paying anything extra, which really awesome. Try to visit there earlier, there still lots to see.

Diese Maßnahme soll helfen, die Verbreitung des Coronavirus so gering wie möglich zu halten. Wir bitten unsere Besucherinnen und Besucher um Verständnis. Unsere Sammlung umfasst etwa 285.000 Objekte der Alltagskultur und Popularkunst aus Deutschland und anderen europäischen Ländern vom 18. Jahrhundert bis heute. Damit ist sie europaweit eine der größten ihrer Art. Einzigartig sind vor allem die Bestände einiger ethnischer Minderheiten in Europa, z. B. der Samen und der Krimtataren. Hervorzuheben sind auch die historisch gewachsenen textilen, populargrafischen und fotografischen Bestände sowie die thematisch angelegten Sammlungsbereiche zur naiven Kunst, zur Kindheits- und Jugendkultur, zu Ritualen und zu Formen von Religiosität. Wir sichten, ergänzen und erweitern unsere Sammlung laufend. Für die aktuelle Sammlungspraxis ist der Bezug zur Gegenwart besonders wichtig. Dabei verfolgen wir in den kommenden Jahren besonders drei thematische Schwerpunkte. Wir fragen nach: - Prozessen der Identitätsbildung, - Europa in der Welt und - der Beziehung von Kultur und Natur.
