With free admission, we invite people of all ages to visit the museum with a colourful programme in and in front of Berlin’s oldest church building.
Regular: Free of charge
8h
Discover eight hundred years of history and culture! Berlin’s oldest preserved church building has characterised the Nikolai Quarter and the centre of Berlin since the Middle Ages: once a place of religion, now a museum of church, building and city history. The model of the medieval twin city of Berlin and Cölln is particularly interesting for families. Here, children and adults can find out together which buildings from back then still exist and what they look like today.
An audio guide for families leads you through the museum with exciting stories in German. Especially for children, there is a museum rally illustrated by Berlin cartoonist Mawil in German, English, Turkish, Polish and Arabic. And that’s not all: you can expect guided tours, music and a hands-on circus on the museum forecourt. A few steps away, our museums Knoblauchhaus and Nikolaikirche also offer a wide range of other activities for children and adults.
