Adventure trip to the Designpanoptikum, a surreal museum of industrial objects

East Berlin, Berlin



A cabinet of curiosities in the middle of Berlin. Here, the most bizarre industrial objects of the 20th century are brought together in a surreal spatial installation. Marvel and reflect!

Highlights

  • An insider tip, off the beaten tourist track.
  • No pictures or 3D models, but real, historic machines and devices.
  • An authentic, privately run business owned by an artist.

Description

When you enter the Designpanoptikum, you immerse yourself in an obscure, surreal world. The entire museum resembles a single work of art in which hundreds of functional objects are artfully staged – often in direct connection with each other, although they actually have no connection. The atmospheric lighting reinforces the feeling of moving through a dream – sometimes even a nightmare. But the puzzling begins immediately: What is the function of the objects, and from what period do they come? Both logic and imagination are required. Photography is expressly permitted, and at the end there is a solution to the mind-boggling quiz question posed at the beginning.
