schau depot architektur modelle | Führung

In the organizer's words:

The Schaudepot offers an exclusive insight into the Akademie der Künste's outstanding collection of architectural models. Highlights of the collection are presented in a permanent exhibition, while changing presentations explore current topics relating to architecture and urban planning.

A wide variety of architectural designs and visions can be discovered in the Schaudepot: from the educational replica of the Roman Septimius Severus Arch from 1786 to the colorful glass building game Dandanah, which Bruno Taut designed around 1920 as a reform toy, to urban planning models of Berlin from the period of reconstruction after the Second World War to the present day. Architectural drawings, photos and plans expand the stories behind the models and add numerous details.

Access to the exhibition is only possible as part of a guided tour.
Access is wheelchair accessible.

Please be prepared for the room temperature to be 17.5 °C.

Documentary film on the restoration of the architectural models from the Academy of Arts' Baukunstarchiv. A film by James A. Wehse and Marieluise Nordahl, 2024.
