Pergamon Museum
The popular Pergamon Museum in Berlin is a great solution to a first-world problem; it was built because there wasn't enough room in the nearby Bode Museum for all its artistic and archaeological relics. Construction carried on through WWI and the great inflation of the 1920s. The then-completed Pergamon was also badly damaged at the end of WWII (though fortunately, its contents escaped damage). **NOTE: The Pergamon Museum will be closed until 2027. **
IKONO Berlin
Interact with immersive art installations. Capture unique photos in creatively designed spaces.

A political symbol of the resilience and prosperity of West Berlin, it's home to a collection of key buildings and artistic institutions, including: Gemäldegalerie, Kupferstichkabinett, Kunstbibliothek, and the Kunstgewerbemuseum.
DDR Museum - Berlin's Interactive Museum
This highly interactive museum lets visitors feel what it was like to live behind the wall - in the DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik). It chronicles, via video and film, daily life as it was under Communism. The museum also includes hundreds of ways to help you experience life behind the Iron Curtain, including watching East German TV shows, being 'bugged,' voting in a (rigged) election, and taking a (simulated) car ride in an iconic Trabi.
Farina Fragrance Museum
