Museum of Unheard (of) Things — Attraction in Berlin

The Museum of Unheard of Things is a wunderkammer of artistic, scientific, and technical objects from everyday life over the years. The objects in the collection are all arranged by their weight, and plastered all over the museum walls. The items themselves are not the entirely the point, though—what’s really on display is the remarkable but overlooked or untold—and unheard—stories behind them.

Each seemingly simple object tells a story or has a legend or myth surrounding it. The mystery of petrified potatoes, the story behind the fur of a Bonsai deer or the cow-pie worshipping community, or how sacramental wine lost its red color are just some of the things you can learn in this unique exhibition. Located in an East Germany factory building, the museum is curated by artist Roland Albrecht, who also has a book by the same name. The idea behind both is to encourage people to pause and reassess their world view, to think about the bigger story behind the everyday things we take...

While the museum's approach seems reasonable and honest, it might be worth calling ahead or checking their social media for any last-minute updates if you're making a longer trip specifically to see this unique space.

The concept still sounds fascinating and worth experiencing when...

So many cool instruments, if you like the history of instruments this is the place for you!! There were a few instruments you could play (midi keyboards simulating some instruments, and a classical guitar & mandolin as well) and an activity room with spots on the floor with different sound bites to make your own song (the staff kindly turned this on for us, as I believe it is usually off unless you ask)! Overall super fun, would definitely...
