Berlin's State Museums Brace for Higher Fees
Prepare for a pocket pinch when visiting Berlin's renowned state museums. The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, responsible for these landmarks, has announced budgetary adjustments, pushing ticket prices upward. Hermann Parzinger, the foundation's President, commented on the situation in a recent statement.
As with many cultural institutions worldwide, we're grappling with tight financial circumstances, Parzinger shared. Consequently, the foundation aims to boost income and curtail expenses. In spite of these price hikes, Berlin remains an affordable cultural haven in comparison to its international peers.
Tickets to esteemed institutions such as the Altes Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode-Museum, and Gemäldegalerie will now set you back 12 euros, up from the previous 10 euros. Tickets to Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Neue Nationalgalerie, Neues Museum, and Pergamonmuseum (Panorama) will cost you 14 euros instead of 12. Even the Museum of Decorative Arts, Museum of European Cultures, Museum of Musical Instruments, Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection, Art Library, Museum of Prints and Drawings, and Köpenick Palace will add an extra two euros to your bill.
On the brighter side, admission to the Friedrichswerder Church, Ethnological Museum, and Museum of Asian Art, all housed within the Humboldt Forum, remains a joyous free experience.
