Exhibition Guide - Humboldt Forum. History of the Site (EN)

From swamp to cultural hotspot: Four exhibition areas in the Humboldt Forum, covering over 1,500 sqm, tell the story of the site and how it is deeply embedded in Berlin's urban history.

This compact exhibition guide in English provides an overview of selected key topics while also showing and explaining the must-see exhibits. In addition to summarising 800 years of the building’s past and the city’s political history, it also includes illustrations of the building’s historical predecessors. This exhibition guide does not only take readers on a tour of the exhibition areas “History of the Site” and “Flashbacks” but also to the sculpture hall and the palace cellar.

Written by the exhibition’s curators, this entertaining read is an ideal companion before, during, or after your visit.

Also available in German.
