A museum as you have never experienced it before

The Deutschlandmuseum addresses four senses on all dimensions. Taking you on a journey through time, our exhibition combines realistic installations with breathtaking projections and spectacular effects to recreate an immersive experience of the past. Combining the smells and sounds from past ages with historical artefacts, we generate a spellbinding experience of 2,000 years of German history.

The museum is not only immersive, but also interactive. Many stations invite you to join in: become a minstrel, print on Gutenberg’s press, dance in the 1920s or design your own flag with AI.

FAQ

What constitutes a 360° Museum?

In a conventional museum, visitors look in just one direction. At the Deutschlandmuseum, however, you are surrounded by immersive worlds, with every wall, the floor, and the ceiling fully designed and enhanced with digital elements.

What is a 4D museum?

A museum to immerse yourself in! 4 dimensions appeal to your senses: See, hear, feel and smell

What is the difference between a 3D and a 4D experience?

A 3D experience usually means seeing, hearing and feeling. The sense of smell is added as a fourth dimension to completely transport you to another time.

What does 4D look like?

4D looks like 3D, but adds scent and touch, elements often missing in 3D cinemas or museums. That’s why the Deutschlandmuseum is described as a 4D experience.
