Schwules Museum LGBTQ museum

The Schwules Museum is an absolute gem in Berlin! The exhibitions are beautifully curated, informative, and exceptionally well-presented. The curator has done an outstanding job creating such interesting and thought-provoking displays. The location itself is fantastic, and there’s a small bookshop with a great selection that’s definitely worth browsing. Plus, the café is a lovely spot — not only does it look great, but the coffee tastes amazing too! This is exactly what Berlin needs — a space that’s both meaningful and enjoyable. Highly recommend visiting!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this museum. It offered fascinating insights into LGBTQIA+ history, covering topics such as sex work and its cultural context. The exhibits were incredibly informative. I visited here on a Museumssontag so it was free entry.

Amazing queer museum! Had lots of content to read about in English,German, and I think a few other languages. A lot of the museum involved a ton of reading with a few art pieces and mostly pictures and articles. I wouldn’t expect to see tons of art made by queer people. All in all I think as a queer person it was a great experience being able to go and learn more about my community.

A huge museum with variety of contemporary art. I participated in art workshop. Definitely come back in future.

They where closed. No sign informing that they where. Me and my partner asked if we could visit, the employee said we couldn't and that it was their break... We grabbed a leaflet and she immediately and very rudely said "I said we are closed, you need to leave". I won't be going back, say what you will, that was just rude. If you are closed, put a sign saying you are closed, don't let your door open with a sign saying you are open.

Visited for the second time and enjoyed the exhibitions. The exhibitions differ in quality, but for such a small museum I'm really impressed with what they offer, both history and art exhibitions. They might benefit from a permanent exhibition about German/Berlin LGBTQIA+ history as you can read a lot of reviews complaining about this. However when you visit multiple times, you will definitely get to appreciate the temporary exhibitions they do more. Super exciting to see completely different exhibitions when you visit a second time. They also have a small cafe with a cute terrace in the courtyard where you can enjoy some drinks.

This museum is a must. Really love their queer disability exhibition. Can’t wait to return on another visit. They clearly put a lot of thought and detail into their curating. And don’t forget to try out the cafe before you go

GAY HISTORY IN BERLIN If you’re wanting to experience LGBTQ history in Berlin, this must-see, under €10 attraction is for you. You get to see the intricate history of LGBTQ people and Berlin’s culture in a series of exhibits. If you have an hour or two (or less if you read fast) to visit, do so!

In Berlin, you can find many different kind of museums. This one is dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. Although the museum isn't huge, it still holds usually 3-4 exhibitions. And most of them will display for quite some time, sometime even a year, so visitors have enough time to plan their visit. They also have free tour with English and German, if you want to join, I recommend to have a look on their official website, there are more information about it. I just visited not long ago, the admission cost 9 euro per person now (regular ticket), well, not cheap, but I think of it as a support to the local LGBTQ+ community. If you are student, you will get a discount, but take your stiuden ID with you. The employees are also quite friendly and helpful there. At the moment, the main theme in the museum is transgender, quite interesting and glad there is a platform for them, so they can to be seen and heard. If this is not topic for you now, just wait for the next exhibition. I think, this museum is one of a kind, you can learn more about the people from LGBTQ+ community, their life, history, culture, art and more.
