Make room for queer art, archives and overlooked stories at Berlin’s Schwules Museum.

A different way into queer Berlin

Berlin’s queer life deserves time in daylight, too. At the Schwules Museum, exhibitions, a library and archives bring LGBTQ+ histories and creative work into view. Put it on your itinerary when you want to explore the people and ideas behind the city’s reputation, with room to linger over a story or an artwork that catches your attention.

Choose the exhibition that draws you in

The changing programme is a reason to look again, even if you already know the museum. We’d choose a visit around an exhibition that sparks your curiosity, then leave the rest of the afternoon for a walk or a café. Consult the current listings before making plans: displays and access can change between exhibitions. The photograph shown here is an archive exhibition view, rather than a promise of what is on display today.
