Stadtmuseum Berlin on the road

In its own permanent exhibitions and changing special exhibitions, the Stadtmuseum Berlin presents a cross-section of the approximately 4.5 million objects from the collections on Berlin's history and culture. Other objects can also be seen in special and permanent exhibitions at other museums in and outside Berlin. Here you will find a selection.

The Märkisches Museum’s “Special Silver Inventory”

Nearly five hundred silver pieces, including spoons, charm bracelets, children’s rattles and other objects, are stored in a metal cabinet in the Stadtmuseum Berlin’s collection depot. The objects originate from compulsory levies placed on Jewish people from 1939 onwards, and provide insight into a project that the Stadtmuseum Berlin has been carrying out since 1996 to clarify the provenance of each individual object.

Works of Art in Bellevue Palace

On 15th October 2021, four newly decorated rooms featuring artworks with a focus on civic democratic life in Germany were unveiled at Bellevue Palace, the official residence of the President of Germany. Dr Jan Mende, curator of the Museum Knoblauchhaus, designed the rooms, which include loans from the Stadtmuseum Berlin.

Ideal and Form

The exhibition "Ideal and Form" in the newly reopened Friedrichswerder Church invites visitors to rediscover the Berlin school of sculpture with works from the time of Schinkel up to the period of German Empire. The exhibition features a self-portrait by the artist Anna von Kahle (1843-1920), on loan from the Stadtmuseum Berlin.

Brandenburg.Ausstellung

The newly conceived Brandenburg.Ausstellung (Brandenburg.Exhibition) invites visitors on a journey through ten centuries of multifaceted regional history. A long-term lender to the permanent exhibition in the Haus der Brandenburgisch-Preußischen Geschichte, the Stadtmuseum Berlin is once again contributing numerous objects from its collections.
