In this authentic location and in rooms furnished true to the original, you can learn how the Berlin merchant family Knoblauch lived here around two hundred years ago.
- How did they earn their living?
- How did they cook?
- And is it true that the scholar Alexander von Humboldt was a frequent guest here?
On an exciting journey through time to the Biedermeier era, you will also meet Carl, Eduard and Henriette – the children who once lived here. What did they play with, and what was their everyday life like?
For children, there is also a rally through the museum illustrated by Berlin comic artist Mawil, available in German, English, Turkish, Polish and Spanish.
An audio guide in German especially for families takes you through the Knoblauchhaus with exciting stories.
And if you want, you can have your face painted imaginatively amid the hustle and bustle around the museum. In our Ephraim Palace and Nikolaikirche museums, just a few steps away, there are also a wide range of other activities for children and adults.
