Museum in the Kulturbrauerei

The Museum in the Kulturbrauerei occupies a restored industrial building with red brick walls and large metal-framed windows. It presents permanent exhibitions that bring history to life through original artifacts and contemporary presentation methods.

The brewery was founded in the 19th century as one of Berlin's major brewing operations before ceasing production. The museum opened in 2013 and has since used the restored building to house its collections.

The exhibitions explore everyday German life and social changes through personal objects and photographs that invite close looking and discovery. Visitors find themselves in spaces that tell the story of how people lived in this city.

The building is fully accessible for wheelchair users, allowing comfortable exploration of all areas. Visiting on a weekday offers a calmer experience than weekends, and Thursday evenings provide extended opening hours for evening visits.

Few visitors notice that the courtyard of the former brewery complex itself functions as an open exhibition, with original production equipment still visible. These outdoor areas tell their own story and reveal how the brewing operation once worked.
