Until Easter 2026, every exhibition on the Museumsinsel will be closed to visitors for about 2-3 days. Around one million visitors a year explore the Deutsches Museum on the Museumsinsel, from the Kids' Kingdom to Astronautics. Demonstrations and media stations are very popular. So all elements of an exhibition require cleaning, maintenance and sometimes repair to ensure that they continue to function properly and provide an enjoyable experience for visitors. All areas are open at weekends and during school holidays. Thank you for your understanding.
