New U-bahn stop takes you straight to the museum
With the opening of the new U-Bahn station Museumsinsel on the U5 line, you will now travel quickly to the Museum Island in Berlin-Mitte, the heart of Berlin’s art and culture. The north exit of the metro station is right in front of the DHM’s Zeughaus. Based on objects in our collections, Sabine Witt, head of the DHM Everyday Culture collection, sheds light on the eventful history of the Berlin U-Bahn network below and above the asphalt.
