Take a walk through shared German and European history at Deutsches Historisches Museum. The museum's massive collection includes 500,000 photographic prints, 50,000 military objects, and 170,000 documents (maps, newspapers, flyers, etc.). It also houses at least 100,000 everyday household objects, medical instruments, and religious articles. The building was erected between 1675 and 1730 to display the country's vast arsenal of cannons. It displays everything from prehistory right up to the present day. Because there's so much to see here, you may do best with a guided tour. Use our Berlin trip tool to arrange your visit to Deutsches Historisches Museum and other attractions in Berlin.

Unfortunately the main exhibit was closed when I went but the Wagner and Marx exhibits they put on were really thought provoking and complemented each other well.

A beautiful space. A somewhat spartan gift shop. Sadly, most of the museum exhibits are closed due to renovation. There were only three exhibits open -- Karl Marx, Richard Wagner, and Angela Merkel. Although these were informative and interesting, it was far less than what was expected. The cafe looks nice.

The permanent exposition is currently closed, but the two temporary ones are pretty nice with good explanation. I would suggest to take an audio-guide however to understand the museum's exposition more.
