MAGICUM Berlin Magic Museum: Magic and Superstition to Experience

A Museum with Real History Behind It

The private museum MAGICUM, Berlin Magic Museum, was founded in 2014 by the couple Auguste Gischler and Rob Brown. Over the years, on their travels, they collected ritual objects, mysterious artifacts, and magical knowledge from all over the world, also as a dance couple on the MS Deutschland, known as the “Traumschiff”. This personal passion led to one of Berlin’s most unusual permanent exhibitions.

Labyrinthine Rooms Full of Curiosities

In the cellar of a historic building in Scheunenviertel, Magicum takes visitors on over 600 square meters into the world of magic. Ghost summoning and fortune-telling, power places and witchcraft, evidence from world religions, and secret sciences such as alchemy or geomancy find their place in the labyrinthine rooms. From the Dutch witch scales to the African totem mask, from crystal balls to the historical samurai sword, ritual objects from all over the world show the spectrum of magical phenomena. The MAGICUM Berlin Magic Museum is not a museum for quiet strolling.

Participation is Explicitly Encouraged

Magical, medieval, religious, and astrological game stations encourage participation, and a worksheet guides visitors through questions about the individual stations. A lounge with games and puzzles also offers space for exchange and for discovering one’s own magical potential. For those who want more, book the magic show: Shows take place regularly between 12:30 and 15:30 and cost a small extra fee in addition to the museum entrance. MAGICUM is open seven days a week, including Mondays. So, if you’re wandering through the Scheunenviertel during the week, you don’t have to wait for a weekend stroll.
