It all begins with a question: “How do we want to live?” And the fundamental conviction of the Futurium is that all possible futures are the result of our decisions and our actions. With more than 5000 m² on three floors, the museum is divided into three main areas: Exhibition, Forum and Lab. The Exhibition area presents various different options for the future in the thinking spaces dealing with Humans, Nature and Technology.
The content and design of the exhibition are intended to inspire us to develop our own standpoint on contentious topics. The Forum is intended to encourage communal dialogue in a meeting of science, politics, culture and civil society. The Lab is a place for trying things out, where visitors of all ages can play with future tech and work on their own inventions in creative workshops.
The Futurium’s building on the Spreebogen, designed by the architect Richter Musikowski, resembles a sculpture that is unfolded to the front and rear to form partially covered forecourts in front of the two main entrances. With solar panels on the roof and a rainwater utilisation system, the Futurium is a nearly zero energy building setting a leading example in sustainability. It is largely supported by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research.
