The Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin presents German history through collections, buildings and programmes within a wider European context. It occupies the historic Zeughaus on Unter den Linden. The seventeenth-century building brings Baroque architecture into direct conversation with the modern Exhibition Hall designed by I. M. Pei. Glass covers the Schlüterhof, its inner courtyard. The Exhibition Hall hosts temporary exhibitions, while the Zeughaus contains displays on everyday life, art, documents and militaria. The collections include prints, documents, artworks and military material.

The museum also maintains a research library, an online database and a picture archive for studying its historical holdings. Zeughauskino adds film history to the museum. With wheelchair access and projects such as Multaka, the museum connects historical research with education and intercultural exchange. These features make the Deutsches Historisches Museum a meeting place for material evidence, architectural history and different perspectives. German and European history meet within this Berlin museum.
