In this unique exhibition on the history of Berlin “Unveiled. Berlin and its Monuments” we invite you to unveil and tactilely experience nearly 100 original political monuments and their secrets. From the monument ensemble of the Siegesallee to the head of the former Lenin monument, political power, identification, remembrance and commemoration are reflected.
“Touch Tour” invites individuals who are blind or have low vision to a dialogical perceptual tour through the permanent exhibition “Enthüllt. Berlin und seine Denkmäler”. The tour is primarily aimed at blind and visually impaired people, but sighted visitors are also welcome. They all receive historical information and detailed pictorial descriptions of selected objects in the exhibition and then explore them with different senses – by touching, smelling and hearing. Through their sensory impressions and sensations, they approach the objects in different ways. In the dialogue that develops, the different “views” of the objects become clear – a truly inclusive experience in the museum.
Dates: 14th of March, 23rd of May, 5th of September
A cooperation of the General Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Berlin and the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Spandau.
Limited number of participants: 10-12 persons
Registration in advance by e-mail or by phone at 030/ 354 944-445

The public tour gives an overview of the eventful history of the citadel and then takes you to a special exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Art. During a dialogue tour, you will get to know the spacious new exhibition house for contemporary art and gain insight into exciting positions in contemporary art that sometimes deal with the past of the citadel on 2500 square meters of exhibition space.
Check here for all guided tours and events in the center for contemporary art!
The citadel’s casemates form one of the largest winter habitats for bats in Europe. They are therefore only accessible to visitors for three months a year. The vaulted corridors with their thick walls were built for defensive purposes. During your visit to the casemates of the Bastion König, you will not only explore one of the oldest areas of the citadel, most of which has been preserved in its original state, but also a place of cinematic interest, including “Der Hexer” by Edgar Wallace filmed here in 1964.
Solid footwear is recommended.
