Berlin's monthly Sunday Museums for visitors and residents

Visitors and residents in Berlin will have free access to 60 museums in the city on the first Sunday of every month. The announcement came from Berlin's Culture Senator, Joe Chialo (CDU), who assured two years of funding for the program, providing both residents and visitors to enjoy cultural exploration.

 

This initiative was originally anticipated to begin in 2019 but faced problems due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Berlin is now set to resume the program allowing free access to museums.
