Humboldt Forum, Cultural complex in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Humboldt Forum is a museum complex in central Berlin housed in a reconstructed palace building with baroque facades and modern design elements. The structure spans multiple levels and contains extensive collections of ethnological and art historical works.
The complex was built on the site of the former Berlin Palace from the 16th century, which was destroyed during World War II. The reconstruction reflected the desire to make cultural heritage accessible again at this central location.
The forum displays artworks and objects from Africa, America, Asia, and Oceania that visitors can experience directly. Collections from different cultures invite exploration of diverse ways of living and artistic traditions.
The complex is easily reached on foot and offers full accessibility for wheelchair users and visitors with mobility limitations. It helps to allow plenty of time for viewing, as the exhibition spaces are extensive.
Inside the building, visitors can see remains of a medieval Dominican monastery that were uncovered during excavations for the construction. These archaeological findings offer insight into the long history of the site before the palace was built.
