Labyrinth Kindermuseum Berlin, Interactive children museum in Gesundbrunnen, Germany.
Labyrinth Kindermuseum is an interactive space occupying roughly 1,000 square meters in a former match factory building, filled with play areas and exploration stations. The 19th-century industrial building contains rooms designed for hands-on discovery and play.
The museum opened on 12 September 1997 and has since received more than 1.6 million visitors. It occupies a former assembly hall for match-making machines, built in 1890 and used by the Albert Roller machine factory until 1977 on the grounds of today's Fabrik Osloer Straße socio-cultural centre in Gesundbrunnen. It is a non-profit subsidiary of the Fabrik Osloer Straße association and is funded mainly by admission fees, foundations and sponsors, with support from the Berlin Senate.
The exhibitions explore topics like children's rights, environmental questions, and traditions from around the world. You can see how these subjects connect to children's everyday experiences in different places.
The museum works best with older children or school groups, as the activities emphasize hands-on participation. The room layout allows visitors to wander without a set route and explore areas at their own pace.
Some exhibitions remain for one to two years, which means repeated visits reveal completely different content each time. This longer view allows deeper exploration of each topic rather than passing through quickly.
