Futurium — Attraction in Berlin

I liked what was presented and nice to see the materials and get some food for thoughts. Place was clean and highly functional hence the good rating.

BUT beware, some part of it is techno-solutionism (don’t worry technology and AI will solve it all…). It makes you believe that we can continue consumption as we used to. I was expecting the exposition to be more self critical. What amount of energy do the presented solutions requires? Why the presented eco-materials are not yet produced at large scale?

The fact that there is a SHOP when the message it clearly that we should consume less, produce less wastes is self contradictory.

I was expecting more numbers to compare. Writing “we save X amount of CO2 émissions thanks to solar panels”, but without mentioning the cost of mining materials and CO2 emissions in the production of solar panels themselves is not telling the full story of our choices. Just saying: AI won’t run with solar energy or wind power ever. It needs way more!

All I am saying is that I invite the visitors to take what is presented with a grain of salt. The initiative is good and it’s good to talk about such topics. Too bad there are parts that are nearly impossible problems said solved with AI. Do they have an idea of the complexity and the amount of energy required to recycle e-wastes (dismount a smartphone up to retrieve the raw materials) is ? It’s against the law of physics…

The questioning and answers with the bracelets are misleading. The way answers are phrased is inviting us toward the “only one good answer”: we call that a...

Firstly, I'm not a tech person. So I find it really good, a must visit place for parents with young kids. There are two sections in this Museum, one is only for watching and learning just like other museums and the other section is for experiments. Well, the experiment section is too small, and few things to do, but if you have young kids, they will enjoy it.

If you have knowledge and curious about technology and architecture it will be a great place for you, but please don’t have too much ambitious, one museums can not pleased you fully!

Please check websites 3/4 weeks before visiting the Museum, sometimes they offer free enter but you must register in online, otherwise you have to wait. And the line it big.

The people who have bad experience with the staff, I'm sorry for them, but I must say the staff were really very good and generous to us.

I can share one thing. My baby was crying and i took food with me and wanted to feed him in front of people, one staff member came to me and told me please check signs, this is not a place to eat, rather go to down stair and eat there, she was pretty good. I and my husband felt sorry that we hadn’t noticed the sign, we claimed that we are educated and we made such stupid mistakes. It’s our fault, so i will never say that the staff were bad. It’s her duty.

I have lived in Germany for 6 years and no one behaves me badly for my colour,...

I visited the Futurium in Berlin and was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. As someone interested in science, technology, and the future of our world, this place felt like a perfect blend of education, innovation, and inspiration. The architecture of the building itself is striking – sleek, modern, and inviting.

Inside, the exhibitions are interactive and thoughtfully curated, exploring future possibilities in areas like climate, health, artificial intelligence, and urban living. I appreciated how the displays encouraged me to think critically about ethical choices and how our decisions today can shape the world of tomorrow. The hands-on sections were especially engaging, and even complex topics were presented in a way that felt accessible and thought-provoking.

One of the highlights for me was the “Futures Lab,” where I could experiment with future scenarios and even “design” my own vision of tomorrow. The use of technology throughout the museum is impressive – it felt immersive but never overwhelming.

Another big plus is that admission is free, which makes it accessible to everyone. The staff were friendly, and the space was well-organized and peaceful despite the number of visitors. I spent around two hours there, but I could’ve easily stayed longer.

If you’re in Berlin and curious about where humanity might be heading, the Futurium is...
