BERLIN GLOBAL. Public Guided Tour in 60 minutes in English

Expansive installations and captivating stories guide visitors through seven distinctive facets of Berlin. Each room features surprising objects and motifs: Right in the middle of BERLIN GLOBAL is a huge, rusty vault door.

What does this massive object tell us about dispossession and persecution, and why is it a symbol of the party scene of the ’90s? Just looking up at the ceiling to see the original light fixtures from the Palast der Republik offers a glimpse into the past: What were leisure and entertainment like for Berliners 40 years ago?

In 60 minutes, you can turn the “Wheel of History,” dance inside a giant disco ball, or discover local history through telescopes in the windows of the Humboldt Forum. The tour fosters a dialogue with visitors through an interactive experience of global dynamics in historical and contemporary Berlin.

Further information: Language: English. Duration: 60 minutes. Price: 16 EUR / 9 EUR (reduced). The price includes the guided tour and admission to the exhibition. Please book your ticket in advance online or at the ticket office in the foyer. Maximum 20 people
