The 6 Best Specialty Museums in Tiergarten, Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

Staatliche Museen zu Berlin closed from Saturday onwards From Saturday, 14.03.2020, onwards all buildings of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin will be closed until further notice. This measure is intended to minimise the spread of the coronavirus. We ask our visitors for their understanding. The Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) is the oldest of its kind in Germany. It houses world-famous examples of European arts and crafts, including magnificent reliquaries made of gold and precious gemstones, exquisite vases of glass and porcelain, finely embroidered textiles, ornate inlaid furniture, and classic examples of modern industrial design. The permanent and special exhibitions hosted by the Kunstgewerbemuseum can be seen at two locations in Berlin: at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz and in the picturesque setting of Schloss Kopenick on an island on the river Dahme. The Schloss Kopenick site features masterpieces of interior design from the 16th to 18th centuries.

From the medieval Welfenschatz (Guelph treasure) to twentieth-century ceramics and glass, this is a splendid collection of treasures from many centuries. Though clearly not as popular as the Gemaeldegalerie to which it is connected by an underground passage, the Museum of Applied Art will prove rich rewarding to those who are interested in objects of use, many of them very beautiful. Highly recommended!

I went with my teenage son for something to do in the heat and we were blown away. The artefacts are fascinating (particularly the those linked to the early silent era) and the Marlene Dietrich collection is a must for any film buff. The whole experience is beautifully arranged and I would highly recommend it.

Collection of a variety of musical instruments from the 16th to the 20th century.

This museum was simply wonderful. I always try to visit musical instrument museums when I travel and so this was a must. The museum is housed in a big open building and there is plenty of room to walk around and see the various instruments on display. All are very well-maintained. There are pianos, harspichords, organs (including a splendid one - I've uploaded a photo), some wind instruments, accordions, and some oddities, including Ben Franklin's glass harmonica! The time period varies from the 16th century to modern times, so there's something here for all music lovers.
