After the exhibition is before the exhibition
Thank you for your interest in our special exhibitions MOTHERLAND and Berliner Kontraste (2004-2015). These are now over. From December 2023, the Museum Ephraim-Palais will be open to the public again. Be curious about the upcoming exhibition and visit us until then at the Museum Nikolaikirche, Museum Knoblauchhaus, BERLIN GLOBAL in the Humboldt Forum or in the Museumsdorf Düppel. We look forward to seeing you!
The building, whose rich history dates back over 250 years, was completely restored in 1987 for Berlin’s 750th anniversary. The Stadtmuseum Berlin also uses this unique location to host events connected with its exhibitions and exclusive presentations of objects from its collection. During opening hours, the museum shop offers a variety of literature and souvenirs related to the exhibitions.
