Museum Ephraim-Palais

Exhibitions on Berlin’s history and culture

The history of the Ephraim Palace is connected with its namesake Veitel Heine Ephraim, a Jewish court jeweler and coin leaseholder in the service of Prussia’s King Frederick II. The building was erected from 1762 to 1769. It was reconstructed in the 1980s. It is located on the corner of Poststraße and Mühlendamm in Berlin-Mitte.

On three floors you can experience Berlin history in special exhibitions.

Located on the edge of the Nikolaiviertel, the Museum Ephraim-Palais is home to special exhibitions by the Stadtmuseum Berlin covering a wide range of topics related to the history and culture of Berlin, as well as events, workshops and other activities.
