About Us
The Deutschlandmuseum is the first museum in Germany to receive the prestigious THEA Award, the Oscar of the entertainment industry.
The museum in Berlin is a globally unique new form of history museum, combining a historical museum with the immersive state-of-the-art design of an amusement park. It is the sister museum of the German Spy Museum, which opened in 2015.
Construction of the museum began at the end of 2022 and it opened on 17 June 2023.
