About this place
The Humboldt Forum occupies the reconstructed Berlin Palace in the heart of Museum Island, reopened in 2021 after decades of debate and construction. Housing collections from the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art alongside Berlin's city museum, it invites visitors to explore world cultures under one roof. The riverside terrace and rooftop offer stunning views over the historic city centre.
Tips
Many areas of the Humboldt Forum are free to enter, so check the official website to plan which exhibitions require a ticket. Allow at least half a day to explore the vast collections spanning world cultures, history, and art. The rooftop terrace is open to all and offers one of the best free views in central Berlin — not to be missed. Combine your visit with a stroll along Museum Island or a stop at the nearby Nikolaiviertel for a full day in the historic heart of the city.
