Science Center Spectrum

More than 150 interactive exhibits invite visitors to explore the fundamentals of science and technology. Our mottoes are “Play and Marvel,” “Look and Touch,” and “Laugh and Learn.” The experiments are all related to everyday life and technology, thus making them exciting and accessible to visitors of all ages. Our world of experiments is divided into eight thematic areas spread across four floors. Even the youngest scientists (ages four and up) will have loads to discover!

Science Center Spectrum is an interactive learning environment outside of the traditional school milieu. It thus stands in the tradition of public science outreach inspired by the ideas of Alexander von Humboldt and embodied in Urania Berlin (in operation from 1888 to 1928). It began in 1983 under the name Versuchsfeld (literally “testing ground”) with various activities within the Deutsches Technikmuseum. In 1990 it then moved into its own building. That makes Science Center Spectrum the oldest existing science center in Germany.

Please note: For group visits Tuesday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Science Center Spectrum, a registration is required. Bookings can be made through the Museumsdienst Berlin.
