Hemp Museum

Hemp Museum, Hemp museum in Nikolaiviertel, Berlin, Germany

The Hemp Museum occupies roughly 250 m² in Berlin's Nikolaiviertel, opened on 6 December 1994. Its permanent exhibition follows hemp from growth and cultivation through harvest and processing, then presents consumer products and the plant's role as a drug. Special exhibitions, such as one on the medical cannabis law of 19 February 2017, update the display, and selected artists show work in the cellar.

The Hemp Museum opened on 6 December 1994 in the Nikolaiviertel, making it the only museum in Germany devoted to the cannabis plant. In 2014, its 20th anniversary, the sponsoring association published a chronicle as a commemorative volume. In 2018 it laid out a hemp field modelled on the Middle Ages together with the Museumsdorf Düppel, where archaeologists had proven early hemp cultivation.

The museum serves as a meeting point for the organisers of the Hanfparade, the annual demonstration for cannabis legalisation. It also takes part in the Long Night of Museums, the Berlin Fairytale Days and the Historale in the Nikolaiviertel. In 2017 it hosted a Kirchentag event on the war on drugs with speakers from South America, including Reverend Martin Diaz from El Salvador.

The museum occupies around 250 m² in the Nikolaiviertel, Berlin's reconstructed quarter near the Spree. Access is limited for wheelchair users, so check ahead. Individually tailored guided tours with care staff are offered, and the cellar holds artists' works plus a space for films and conversation.

In 2018 the museum laid out a hemp field at the Museumsdorf Düppel following a medieval model, after archaeologists there proved hemp had once been grown on the site; information boards explain the cultivation and processing. In 2009 it also ran a public hemp-field labyrinth in Berlin that school classes visited.
