Museum of Film and Television in Berlin cc licensed photo by Alessio Bragadini

Deutsche Kinemathek was established in 1963 as an archive of films. In 2000 they relocated it to the Filmhaus in Potsdamer Platz leading to the permanent exhibition Television of the Deutsche Kinemathek in 2006, a forerunner to the Museum of Film and Television.

If you have an interest in the history of film and television in Germany, you’ll want to check out this museum. Highlights of your visit include the Multimedia time tunnel where you can journey through the history of television in East and West Germany and the mirror room where you can view a television show on a gigantic 8-metre tall mirrored wall.

The Marlene Dietrich Collection showcases both costumes and personal items belonging to the famous actress from Berlin.

Experience the jerky motion pictures from the days when movies had no sound and see the first movies with sound that debuted in the 1930s.

On the ground floor, a large shop offers film literature, DVDs, books and current novels about Berlin.

Museum of Film and Television is located within easy walking distance of Potsdamer Platz U-Bahn or S-Bahn station.

Deutsche Kinemathek Reviews

Rated 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating A bit disappointed because the main part of the museum wasn't working, and wasn't communicated either. They had a show about film and vintage media, which was nice , but the exhibition itself lacked a 'museum effect'. It felt a bit dull, with the projections being the main source of media.

4 Star Rating Amazing museum for cinema and television, with an emphasis on the great star of German cinema, Marlene Dietrich. The circular hall with the screens and costumes of the famous actress is stunning. The tribute to the pioneer of German cinema, Fritz Lang, with references to the Metropolis, is unique. The presentation of models from films is impressive. We found the hall with the mirrors and even the metal staircase awesome! We would definitely like to visit this very modern place. Excitement and many emotions for those who love the 7th art.

5 Star Rating For the openning times look into the website. One service they offer which I like a lot is that you can get movies and watch them there, since they provide watching stations. Also, the collection is very nice.

5 Star Rating Loved this museum! A great place to learn about early film history, German Expressionism, the war and subsequent exodus of talent to Hollywood, and their influence on American film. The architecture and design was amazing, evoking the expressionist style when walking through the early 20th c section.
