Experience the Museum Knoblauchhaus as a festively decorated Christmas house from Berlin’s Biedermeier period! On three floors, you can take a journey back in time to the origins of today’s Christmas traditions. The library and the cosy living room are particularly atmospheric, where old Christmas carols and stories are accompanied by the festive scent of cinnamon and cookies.
Let yourself be enchanted by historical Christmas decorations and toys, displayed in lovingly decorated showcases. A special Christmas audio guide accompanies you.
The ‘Sunday at the Nikolai Quarter’
On the first Sunday of every month, we offer a special, wide-ranging programme for everyone at our three museums in the Nikolai Quarter. Families are especially welcome – admission is free for children and young people under 18, as well as many others! So look forward to some great offers at the Museum Ephraim-Palais, the Museum Nikolaikirche and the Museum Knoblauchhaus!
Our solidarity pricing model offers free admission for adult visitors with proof of discount, including students, trainees, FSJ, FÖJ and BFD volunteers, people with disabilities, refugees, recipients of citizen’s allowance or ALG I and many more. All others only pay the museum entrance fee and can benefit from our reduced-price combined ticket for all three museums. The extensive action day program is included in the price!
