  An original horse head from the 1793 quadriga of the Brandenburg Gate is on display at the Märkisches Museum. The original quadriga was so badly damaged during World War II that only the horse head survived.

The Märkisches Museum is dedicated to the history and cultural history of Berlin from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Please note

The Märkische Museum is closed until further notice due to renovation work.

Who are the people of Berlin? How do they shape their lives, their work and their city? The Märkisches Museum is dedicated to the history and stories of Berlin.

The history and stories of the city of Berlin

In over 50 exhibition rooms, the Märkisches Museum (English: Marcher Museum, referring to the Province of the March of Brandenburg) tells the history and stories of the city of Berlin from its beginnings to the present day. On display are, among other things, Berlin art and sculptures, weapons, coins, furniture, documents, posters, photographs, cityscapes and city models. Interactive stations and multimedia exhibits bring Berlin’s history to life for visitors and reveal fascinating and extraordinary anecdotes.

A look behind the scenes of museum work

Focusing on two key themes, the [Probe]Räume (English: [Rehearsal] Rooms) invite visitors to reflect on the curatorial decisions made by museums and to create their own miniature exhibition. Berliners are invited to contribute their own perspectives and even bring personal items related to Berlin, which will then become part of the exhibition at the Märkisches Museum for a short time.
