Märkisches Museum, History museum in Mitte, Germany
The Märkisches Museum presents the evolution of Berlin through exhibits spanning from the Ice Age to modern times across two expansive floors.
Founded in 1874 by history enthusiasts, the museum started as a collection of documents, coins, and ecclesiastical art from Berlin and Brandenburg regions.
The museum building incorporates architectural elements from northern Germany, including a Gothic chapel, guild hall, and armory to frame regional exhibits.
The museum remains closed for renovations until 2028, during which it transforms into a cultural center called Museums- und Kreativquartier.
The structure holds distinction as the first purpose-built city museum worldwide, opening its doors in 1908 under architect Ludwig Hoffmann's direction.
