Berlin’s museum scene is equally compelling, which the Humboldt Forum being the city’s most visited arts institution of 2024. Other top destinations include the Topography of Terror, the Berlin Wall Memorial and the Jewish Museum, reflecting Berlin’s deep engagement with history and memory. Institutions like the Natural History Museum and Futurium bridge science and public culture, while spaces like the Neue Nationalgalerie and DDR Museum showcase the city’s relationship with contemporary and historical art. This intersection of education, history and innovation makes Berlin an inspiring place for thinkers and doers of all disciplines.
