What to do in Berlin? My guests always ask me. Luckily for them, that I am working on a BertaBerlin map for Charlottenburg right now. It takes a lot of time to discover and test all the places, but here you have my Top 5 museums of Charlottenburg. If you want to find more hidden gems of the German capital, pick a map in my shop.
The museum devotes itself to the Jugendstil, kind of Déco and Funktionalismus. Here you can walk through a Jugendstil room with historical furniture and art. On the first Wednesday every month the entry is free as well as they offer free guided tours and workshops.
