Below are our favourite quirky museums of Berlin, which truly capture the essence of this peculiar city.
Deutsches Currywurst Museum
Who would’ve thought that there’d be a museum dedicated to a sausage? The Currywurst is a beloved street food snack that originated in Berlin and it consists of diced sausages served with a curried sauce. At the Deutsches Currywurst Museum you’ll find out just about everything about this iconic snack, including its cultural significance, history and ingredients. This is a very fun museum with interactive exhibits, a giant sausage sofa and many varieties of Currywurst to sample.
Monsterkabinett
This freaky steampunk museum displays a very unique form of art that really represents Berlin’s underground culture. Here you’ll discover a darker side to the city with gigantic metal sculptures, moving robotic creatures and insect-like constructions, each with its own name and backstory. There are many idiosyncratic art exhibitions and secret rooms to discover at Monsterkabinett, and free guided tours are offered for guests.
Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum
Translated as the Berlin Museum of Medical History, the Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum is dedicated solely to medical science and human pathology over the last 300 hundred years. The museum makes a bold impression with its exhibits that showcase all sorts of bizarre artefacts and specimens, such as medical instruments and anatomical samples including preserved organs, limbs and foetuses - let’s just say it’s not for the faint of heart.
Computerspielemuseum
Berlin’s computer museum takes you on a journey through time with the development of video gaming. One moment you’ll feel all nostalgic as you witness the retro arcade games and old game consoles, then you’ll be taken into what feels like the future with virtual reality and 3D simulation technology. Computerspielemuseum showcases over 300 exhibits, and highlights include classic Space Invaders, Pacman and Donkey Kong which you can play.
Museum der Unerhörten Dinge
This quaint little museum is dedicated to everyday objects which each has its own overlooked backstory or myth. With exhibits such as petrified potatoes and a red white wine, the creative Museum der Unerhörten Dinge forces you to let your imagination run free and see things in a whole new perspective. The background stories of the objects are very farfetched and will have you wondering whether they are reality or fantasy.
