Come to ‘Sunday at the Nikolaiviertel’! Every first Sunday of the month, we offer a varied programme. Admission is free for everyone under 18 or on concession.
In the authentic location, rooms furnished true to the original show how the Berlin merchant family Knoblauch lived here some two hundred years ago. The exhibition Everyday life in Biedermeier Berlin: Humboldt, Schinkel and the Knoblauch Family provides in-depth background on the house’s residents, their famous guests and the period between the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the revolutionary events of 1848.
The special exhibition ‘Family Matters’ offers surprising insights into the traditional family model, both past and present. In addition, a special presentation by our junior curators, entitled, ‘To have a Match!’, explores love, friendship and relationships as they were two hundred years ago compared to today.
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 Nikolaiviertel. Families in particular are warmly invited – admission is free for everyone under 18 or for those eligible for concessions. Good reasons to look forward to great activities at the Museum Ephraim-Palais, the Museum Nikolaikirche and the Museum Knoblauchhaus!
Our solidarity-based pricing model offers free admission for adults with proof of concessions, including students, apprentices, those undertaking FSJ, FÖJ and BFD placements, people with severe disabilities, refugees, recipients of Bürgergeld or ALG I, and many others. Everyone else pays only the museum admission fee and can benefit from our discounted combined ticket for all three museums. The extensive programme is included in the price!
