The Museum of Unheard of Things: Where Objects Become Narratives

The museum sees itself as a collection of artistic, scientific, and technical objects that mostly remain unnoticed but could tell stories. Museum founder Roland Albrecht has brought together numerous objects, trinkets, and sundries and devised imaginative stories for them. The rule is: None of the assigned narratives are based on historical or scientific evidence. That is precisely the concept.

Curious Exhibits in the Smallest Space

In just 20 square meters, the museum displays all sorts of strange objects. These include natural history research objects, a letter from Sigmund Freud, or the skin of a Japanese bonsai deer. The museum also features a fossilized potato, psyllium seeds, and hamburger bacon, along with bizarre exhibits such as fossilized rice, acorn olives, and white red wine. Thus, a simple telescope becomes, for example, the telescope through which Christopher Columbus allegedly first sighted America.

Bizarre Museum in Schöneberg for 25 Years

The collection grew over decades and has been located in Berlin since 2000, specifically in the proverbial nowhere between the house entrances of Crellestraße 5 and 6. For its 25th anniversary, the Museum of Unheard of Things participated in the Long Night of Museums in summer 2025. The exhibits change regularly and are accompanied by detailed, often humorous, and sometimes absurd stories. So, if you want to take a short break and view the world from a different perspective, you should stop by. The museum is open Wednesday to Friday from 15:00 to 19:00, Crellestraße 5 to 6, 10827 Berlin.
