Märkisches Museum

The Märkisches Museum is a museum that gives visitors a glimpse of the life, history, and culture of Berlin. The museum's building, a red brick cathedral-like complex, holds a history of Berlin as distinctive as its residents. Instead of a straightforward history lesson, expect a variety of themed rooms that give visitors a glimpse of the life, work, and culture of Berlin. The museum explores the evolution of the historic city and the nearby Brandenburg region through coins, weapons, posters, city models, sculptures, and more. Favourites include the tour of mechanical musical instruments and the seven original graffiti-bedecked segments of the Berlin Wall. The museum also features a Kaiserpanorama, a stereoscope dating from the 1880s that offers a 3-D show of images to up to 25 people at a time
