The Best Ways To Spend A Rainy Sunday In Berlin

Sundays are for flea market strolls, brunch with friends and spending time outside in the park. However, not every Sunday presents itself with great weather. To avoid Sunday night blues, here is a list of Berlin museums to visit on a rainy Sunday afternoon because a Sunday well spent gives you a week full of content.

1. Sammlung Boros

Building

Sammlung Boros

The building itself is worth a visit. This former bunker holds masterpieces from artists like Awst & Walther, Dirk Bell, Cosima von Bonin, Olafur Eliasson and Thea Djordjadzend. The art displayed is the private collection of Boros, and a visit is only possible with a guided tour. Booking a tour is possible online through their website, but make sure to make an appointment for it in advance as the Sammlung Boros is very famous and tours are limited. Even Brad Pitt payed a visit when he was in Berlin in November 2015.

3. Martin-Gropius-Bau

Museum

Martin-Gropius-Bau is one of the best known exhibition halls in Berlin. With works from artists like Ai Weiwei and Paul Klee, Martin-Gropius-Bau is a must-visit if you want to see some of the world’s most influential artists. The centerpiece of the museum is an atrium decorated with mosaics, which is just as impressive as some of the masterworks the museum displays.

4. Bode Museum

Museum

The Museum Island in Berlin Mitte holds some of the most historical museums in the city. One of them is the Bode Museum, home of a well-curated selection of sculptures, Byzantine art, coins and medals. The presentation is geographic as well as chronological and presented on two floors. It is worth a visit for anyone who loves old pieces from different cultures.
