The Hemp Museum is the only one of its kind in Germany and one of only four in the world, along with the museums in Bologna, Barcelona and Amsterdam. In the heart of Berlin, in the Nikolaiviertel, interested visitors can get a comprehensive picture of the old cultivated plant. The exhibition, which covers all topics related to hemp, extends over almost 300 square metres.

Starting with a general introduction, the growth and cultivation, the harvest and the pre-processing are described from a historical point of view. It continues with the individual possibilities of use: Insulation and insulating materials, fibre extraction and textile production, cellulose use and paper production, seed use and medical possibilities. After the conventional use the meaning of hemp in different cultures of the world - from Jamaica to India - is illuminated. An example for Berlin is Wolfgang Neuss, who is known to many not only as a post-war cabaret artist, but also as a brilliant free spirit, a biting lateral thinker and a convinced stoner. Finally, the exhibition deals with the legal side of THC-containing hemp, in particular attempting to unravel the current state of the law.

In the reading café, artists have the opportunity to exhibit their works, while visitors to the museum can watch themed videos. Furthermore, a small shop offers articles and literature from and about hemp. In a plant showcase you can watch hemp grow.
