Public Tour I Sun., Nov. 7 I 12:00 p.m. (German) & 2:00 p.m. (English)
What does a museum look like just before it becomes a museum? The Berlin Botanical Museum is still closed to the public. The historic building has undergone extensive renovation, the new exhibition is taking shape – and some of its most extraordinary objects have already been moved in.

Bevor die Türen öffnen: Sneak Peek ins neue Botanische Museum
In this exclusive sneak peek, the doors are opening even before the official reopening. Discover rooms still taking shape, take a look behind the scenes and encounter the first exhibits with surprising stories: from plant sexuality to a sequoia whose history stretches back to the Cold War.
Botanical museums are a rarity worldwide. One of them is currently being re-established in Berlin: a museum dedicated to plants, fungi and algae – and to the diverse relationships between them and us humans. In future, it will recount these interconnections in a new light – scientifically, culturally and historically.
Guided tour with Susanne Feldmann, curator of the new exhibition and Head of the Museum & Exhibitions division, and Dr Luiza Bengtsson, Head of the Museum & Society department.
This guided tour is part of the Berlin Science Week 2026 programme.
