Discover the Filmmuseum Potsdam & Babelsburg
Summary
Once the Hollywood of East Germany during the Cold War, Potsdam's Babelsburg studios have now transformed into a captivating museum just an hour from Berlin. Easily reachable via S-Bahn, the Filmmuseum Potsdam is a short stroll from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof (the main train station). Offering an affordable entry, the museum boasts an array of movie memorabilia that will fascinate visitors.
Exploring the Museum
For those who visited before 2005, you'll recall not every exhibit had English translations, but the visual appeal ensured an engaging experience for all. The permanent exhibition combines intellectual depth and entertainment, highlighting 20th-century political influences on film production. Even if politics isn't your thing, the film props and costumes are sure to captivate you. Interact with touch screens to identify movie scenes and listen to interviews about filmmaking, making the experience both engaging and educational.
Daily Screenings and Unique Exhibits
Film screenings take place daily, typically for an additional fee. While most are in German, English-language films, usually recent award winners, are also shown. A standout feature of the museum is the children’s exhibit. Unusual for German museums, this section focuses on children's films from the 1950s and 1960s, especially fairy tales. During my visit, a vibrant interactive exhibit allowed kids to explore real items from Babelsburg sets, providing a hands-on movie experience.
Family-Friendly Experience
Even young children and non-German speakers will enjoy the visual and tactile displays. Video installations and computer touchscreens create an immersive atmosphere, making it a delightful destination for families with small children.
Culinary Delights
Don’t miss the museum’s café, offering reasonably priced, Turkish-inspired dishes with a hint of Italian flavor. The friendly staff and memorable food make it a perfect spot to relax after exploring the museum.
Whether you’re a film enthusiast or just looking for a unique family outing, the Filmmuseum Potsdam offers a rich, interactive experience that should not be missed.
