Do you know about the opportunity to buy the Museum pass Berlin which allows you to visit and explore around 50 museums during three days and which costs only 24 euros (12 euros for schoolchildren and students)? If not, just visit Museum portal and find more (the list of museums and exhibitions, useful offers, Berlin Welcome Card, etc.)!
I have already tried this museum-experience and found it really awesome! This three-day ticket provides you with open doors of numerous exciting museums in Berlin! First of all you can visit traditional museums, such as:
View from the National Gallery
- Old National Gallery with 19th century art
- Old Museum with its permanent exhibition ‘Ancient Worlds’
- Bode Museum which houses an impressive collection of sculpture
- New Museum housing antique masterpieces and sculptures (incl. famous bust of Nefertiti)
- Pergamonmuseum with classic antiquities
- Museum of Natural History which has ‘Evolution in Action’ exhibition
- German Museum of Technology representing the history of transport, communication, production, etc.
Of course, all of them offer you to admire incredible unique historical exhibit items but Berlin also has lots of other museums which present, for example, contemporary art, computer game history, East and West Germany history, war between Germany and the Soviet Union, German-Jewish history, etc. As for me, I have chosen two museums to explore and, undoubtedly, it was unusual experience.
The first was Berlin Museum of Medical History which exhibits different medical instruments and equipment, valuable books, microscopes and about 900 exceptionally rare pathological and anatomical specimens of human organs, healthy and diseased. So, it’s not a sight for the faint-hearted!

The second was Gay Museum* which is one of the largest and most important institutions on the history and culture of the LGBTIQ communities in the world for now. Apart from history and culture, there is also an exhibition with astonishing gay comics that I liked most due I have never even heard about such a thing!
In conclusion, three days are not enough to visit all of them, unfortunately; so that you should thoroughly plan your route and then have a nice museum-trip in Berlin!
