Collecting and preserving GDR cultural assets is one of the core tasks of our museum. We now have more than 300,000 different objects in our collection, and the number is growing almost daily.
We have a spacious depot for the professional storage of the various everyday objects, and our museum researchers have been working for years on the cataloguing of the extensive collection. You can find some of the museum objects already catalogued in our object database.
If you are interested in using an image from our object database, you can use our image request form.
You are welcome to borrow our objects for exhibitions and educational projects. The prerequisite for this is that the conservation requirements are met.
Do you still own objects from the former GDR and think they urgently belong in a museum? In our object list you will find a list of the things we still need.
