Museum für Kommunikation Berlin: tickets, opening hours and exhibitions
The Museum für Kommunikation, on Leipziger Straße in Mitte, is Berlin's museum of post and communication. It tells how people have written, spoken and connected, from the postal service to the smartphone via the telegraph and the telephone. Robots, hands-on stations and original temporary exhibitions make it an easy outing for families and rainy days. You can also see the most famous stamp in the world, the Blue Mauritius. The museum is open Tuesday to Friday 9:00 to 17:00 and at weekends 10:00 to 18:00, closed on Mondays. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours.
