International Museum Day. Located in the heart of the Nikolaiviertel, the museum invites you to visit its exhibition with free admission.
Discover BerlinZEIT! On the first and second floors of the Ephraim-Palais Museum, the exhibition offers an entertaining journey through the centuries and, at the same time, a comprehensive overview of the sometimes revolutionary events in this city.
All your senses are engaged: Feel medieval fabrics, smell your way back to the year 1740, see the original padlock from the Brandenburg Gate, and listen to interviews with people who shaped Berlin during the era of reunification.
The new exhibition “A Change of Scenery – Migration and Furniture since 1960” explores living in a society of migration through aesthetic and social lenses. The focus is on Berlin, while also examining other migration hubs in Germany.
