Welcome to the Deutschlandmuseum

Mädchen im Wald des Deutschlandmuseums

The Deutschlandmuseum presents Dating History – an exciting journey through time of love

A museum like you've never seen before

Explore an ancient forest with deceptively real trees, tread the creaking floorboards of a medieval castle and watch shadows behind stained glass windows. Experience the stench and cramped conditions of a First World War trench and marvel at illuminated shop windows during the Roaring Twenties. View the ruins of Berlin in 1945 and take an S-Bahn ride through 1990s Berlin. Are you ready for a unique journey through time?

The striking, 3D worlds don’t just want to be admired from a distance – you walk through and interact with them, which gives you a chance to experience history first-hand.
