Werkbundarchiv - Museum der Dinge in Berlin explores material culture shaped by industrial mass production during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. At Leipziger Straße, everyday objects and product designs create a view of how people live with manufactured things. The setting brings cultural, historical, technical and sociological questions together through displays of objects from ordinary life.

The collection grew from the archive of the German Werkbund, founded in 1907 by artists, industrialists and cultural politicians. Its designers sought better living through modern, practical forms. Products associated with the Werkbund appear alongside mass-produced goods, artistic pieces, industrial objects and individually made emergency items. Renowned designers share space with anonymous makers, branded goods with no-name products, and purist designs with kitsch.

An open-depot presentation places these contrasting objects within the social history of industrial society. A single visit can move from architecture and living spaces to product design and the unexpected ingenuity of emergency objects.
