With numerous original objects from the city’s past Berlin is presented in an easily understandable and compact way as a city of diversity and openness, but also as a city of ruptures and radical change. ##### Background The reason for the presentation of “BerlinZEIT” in the [Museum Ephraim-Palais](https://www.stadtmuseum.de/en/museum/museum-ephraim-palais) is the comprehensive renovation of the Märkisches Museum, the traditional location of the Stadtmuseum Berlin for permanent exhibitions on Berlin’s history, which will take several years. Once the modernisation of the neighbouring Marinehaus has been completed, both buildings will form the heart of a museum and creative quarter in Köllnischer Park in a few years’ time. - ![Die Quadriga auf dem Brandenburger Tor](https://www.stadtmuseum.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/berlinzeit-visual-300x225.jpg) Das Brandenburger Tor mit der Quadriga steht als eines der bekanntesten Berliner Baudenkmäler auf dem kommenden Plakatmotiv zur Ausstellung stellvertretend für die Stadt. © Stadtmuseum Berlin ### BerlinZEIT A city of diversity, disruption and change.
