Accessibility

A museum for everyone! We want to offer a positive informative, social and cultural experience to as many visitors as possible. This is why we are actively working to become a barrier-free, inclusive and diverse museum.

A museum for everyone!

The Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin is working to make exhibitions and educational programs accessible to all visitors. Most of our buildings, exhibition and event rooms are accessible by wheelchair. Exceptions are the exhibition on film technology and historical objects such as the historical brewery and the windmills in the museum park.

On presentation of a disabled pass, visitors receive reduced admission. Free admission applies to recognized accompanying persons.
