A city of diversity, disruption and change
Along formative periods and highlighting specific years the exhibition takes visitors on a journey of discovery through eight centuries – from the founding of Berlin to the present day and beyond. With numerous original objects from the city’s past Berlin is presented in an easily understandable and compact way as a city of diversity and openness, but also as a city of ruptures and radical change.
hree guiding principles characterise the newly designed and conceptually enhanced permanent exhibition: urban development through growth and destruction, tolerance and persecution, rule and co-determination. The first floor of the museum is dedicated to the period from the formation of Berlin eight hundred years ago to the November Revolution of 1918, while the first floor looks at Berlin as it grew into a metropolis, from its expansion into the surrounding area in 1920 to the present day.
Background
The reason for the presentation of “BerlinZEIT” in the Museum Ephraim-Palais is the comprehensive renovation of the Märkisches Museum, the traditional location of the Stadtmuseum Berlin for permanent exhibitions on Berlin’s history, which will take several years. Once the modernisation of the neighbouring Marinehaus has been completed, both buildings will form the heart of a museum and creative quarter in Köllnischer Park in a few years’ time.

Complementary offers
At various points in “BerlinZEIT”, Open Spaces leave room to show further diverse perspectives on Berlin’s diverse urban society in the future. From these vacancies, there is a dedicated event programme for the exhibition. The third floor of the Museum Ephraim-Palais offers additional space for supplementary presentations or independent special exhibitions.
The permanent exhibition makes the Nikolai Quarter the central location for exploring Berlin’s city history: Directly opposite the Museum Ephraim-Palais, the Museum Knoblauchhaus is dedicated to Berlin life in the Biedermeier period. Just a few metres away, the Museum Nikolaikirche focuses on the medieval building and the beginnings of Berlin.
Programme
“The new exhibition […] opens the view from the founding of the city to the present day into many, usually hidden city layers and city histories. Last but not least, it shows subtle humour in appropriate places.”
