Getting here and Access
The easiest way to reach the museum is via Knaackstrasse. The main entrance is only a few metres from the road – in the entrance to the Kulturbrauerei. Barrier-free access is located to the left of the main museum entrance. Access to the temporary exhibitions area is likewise barrier-free. You can also reach the museum via Sredzkistrasse. Please note that in this case you will have about 100 metres of cobblestones to navigate before reaching the museum.
Using local public transport, you can take the underground line (U-Bahn) U2 to “Eberswalder Strasse”, where there are lifts. Taking the M1 and tram 12, alight at the “Eberswalder Strasse” tram stop. There are no steps to climb getting on or off the tram. The museum is about 300 metres from the stops. Taking the M10, also alight at “Eberswalder Strasse”, but in this case the exit in the direction of “Nordbahnhof” is not barrier-free.
On the Kulturbrauerei grounds there are barrier-free parking spaces free of charge for cars and minibuses. You must register to be able to drive on the grounds. Please inform Visitor Services accordingly. Minibuses and cars can stop at Knaackstrasse 97 only a few metres from the museum entrance. Large coaches can stop in Sredzkistrasse, where the museum’s main entrance is only 100 metres away, albeit over cobblestones. The pay-for car park at the Kulturbrauerei is not barrier-free and there are no barrier-free parking spaces.
Inside the Museum
All our exhibitions as well as the events and seminar rooms can be reached by lift. Access to the lift is on the ground floor opposite the Studio (from the barrier-free entrance go straight up the ramp and then turn left). In the permanent exhibition, the lift can be found next to the staircase entrances/exits. The gallery for temporary exhibitions is also barrier-free.
Wheelchairs and walking sticks can be borrowed free of charge from the Information Desk. If you use a hearing aid and are taking part in a group guided visit, please ask the guide or the Information Desk staff for an inductive neck loop. In the right-hand area of the exhibition on the first floor there are light folding stools that you can use as a support or seat throughout the exhibition.
Inclusive Services in the Exhibitions
Guide dogs and white sticks are permitted inside the exhibitions and the museum. A list of objects that can be touched by hand along with white gloves can be obtained from the Information Desk. Moreover, we provide a pick-up service from the “Eberswalder Strasse” stop for those coming by public transport. Please inform Visitor Services in advance if you wish for such assistance.
