Zeughauskino

Historic Mitte


Under the same roof as the Deutsches Historisches Museum, this compact cinema presents a diverse program of sophisticated non-mainstream movies from around the world and from all periods. Many are screened in the original language with German subtitles, while silent movies are accompanied by live music. Enter from the Spree side of the museum building.
