漏 Deutsches Historisches Museum
The German Historical Museum (DHM) is Germany's national history museum. The museum's permanent exhibition in the Zeughaus is currently being redesigned.
Since its opening in the baroque Zeughaus Unter den Linden, the German Historical Museum (German: Deutsches Historisches Museum (DHM)) has quickly become a magnet for the public and is regularly one of the most visited museums in Berlin. The exhibition on German history in the Zeughaus is closed for the preparation of a new permanent exhibition. The Zeughaus courtyard and the Zeughaus itself are not accessible due to the associated construction work. In the directly adjacent exhibition hall, the Pei-Bau, temporary exhibitions on formative events, developments and people in German history can be seen in a European context.
The museum buildings reflect the historical range of the German Historical Museum. The Zeughaus is over 300 years old and was designed by four renowned architects: Johann Arnold Nering, Martin Grünberg, Andreas Schlüter and Jean de Bodt. The exhibition hall contrasts with and complements the historical building and brings it into the modern age. The airy, light-flooded building was designed by the architect Ieoh Ming Pei. It is characterized by its characteristic spiral structure and numerous glass surfaces.
The Pei building (Pei-Bau) houses temporary exhibitions on formative events, developments and people in German history in a European context. The focus is on formative events and people in German history. The temporary exhibitions take place in the modern Pei-Bau and are complemented by specialist lectures and events.
The Zeughaus is currently closed due to renovation work. A new permanent exhibition is being created from the museum's unique collection, which comprises around one million historical objects. The new exhibition will set new accents and place a special focus on various themed rooms that are dedicated to fundamental questions of German history and illuminate them from different perspectives.
Due to the renovation work in the Zeughaus, the Zeughauskino is also located in the Pei-Bau. Its daily changing program reflects the entire spectrum of German and international film.
