About The Entry

At PETRI Berlin, visitors engage directly with the archaeology of Berlin — exploring excavated foundations, observing live restoration work in open workshops, and participating in interactive exhibits and a site-wide game. The exhibition design draws inspiration from archaeological tools, materials, and landscapes, translating them into an immersive physical experience. Through hands-on exploration, color infographics, and exceptional artifacts, visitors learn about Berlin’s layered history and the methods used to uncover it. PETRI invites everyone to become an active researcher, transforming the museum visit into a dynamic, investigative journey into the city’s past.
