Museum for Communication Berlin

Museum for Communication Berlin houses exhibits ranging from early telephones to modern digital devices, documenting the history of human communication. The building is a Wilhelmine villa in central Berlin with gallery spaces that display object collections, documents, and media installations.

The institution began in 1872 as a postal museum under Heinrich von Stephan and moved to its current Wilhelmine building in 1898. The collection grew to document all forms of communication from postal services through the digital age.

The museum explores how communication tools have shaped daily life and society over time. Visitors see the role that postal services, telephones, and later digital devices played in how communities connected.

The entrance is located near the city center and is accessible by public transportation. The building has multiple levels with exhibition spaces, so visitors interested in different periods should plan time to explore several areas.

In the basement of the museum, a historical pneumatic tube system still functions, showing how messages were once sent through buildings via pressurized air. This rare working example gives visitors a tangible sense of a nearly forgotten technology.
