Your family visit to the Deutschlandmuseum:
The 4D Family Museum in Berlin
At the Deutschlandmuseum, you’re not just spectators, you’re part of no fewer than 12 eras of German history. Whilst other museums say ‘Do not touch’, we say: Touching is expressly encouraged!
Embark on a journey through 2,000 years of German history: explore a medieval castle, operate Gutenberg’s printing press, dance in the Roaring Twenties, witness the devastation of Berlin in 1945, and experience the division of Germany, the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification.
Families can explore a total of 12 historical periods together here
From the deepest Middle Ages to modern Berlin
The interactive museum for the whole family
At the Deutschlandmuseum, you can explore 12 historical eras as a family, marvel at the authentic sets and experience history with all your senses. Travel through Germany’s past and experience it for yourselves: dress the Emperor in new clothes, use AI to explore the origins of the German flag, solve the crime at the Weimar pharmacy, trade on the Berlin black market and switch between East and West German television.
The whole family will be thrilled, we promise!
