Internationaler Museumstag im Museum Ephraim-Palais

In the organizer's words:

We are celebrating International Museum Day on May 17. We invite you to visit exhibitions in the Nikolai Quarter with Free admission.

Discover the BerlinZEIT! On the 1st and 2nd floors of the Ephraim-Palais Museum, the exhibition offers you an entertaining tour of discovery through the centuries and at the same time a comprehensive overview of the sometimes revolutionary events in this city. All the senses are engaged: Feel medieval fabrics, smell your way back to 1740, see the original padlock from the Brandenburg Gate and listen to interviews with people who shaped Berlin at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Info: International Museum Day will take place for the 49th time in 2026. Proclaimed annually by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) on May 18, it will be celebrated in Germany this year on the third Sunday of the month. The aim of the day of action is to draw attention to museums and invite people to discover their diversity.
