  The Museum der Dinge has been collecting everyday objects since the 1970s and now it holds over 35,000 unique items in it’s vintage museum. The space is arranged around an “open storage” model that is continually updated and reconsidered. The objects on display are endlessly eclectic, but all share a sharp and austere quality of design. There are scientific instruments, Nazi propaganda pins, and children’s toys. Some of the objects are organized by color, some by theme. Most museums strive to preserve the more distant past, but the Museum der Dinge is focused almost exclusively on the 20th and 21st century, and the mass-produced, product-based culture that so often defines it. Starring at the shelves may compel visitors to ask themselves: why do people like objects? The Museum der Dinge is a perfect study site for design students, an inspiration for creative people and a delight to the eyes of object lovers!

  Calm, quiet museum. You have to know that it's there beforehand, otherwise it will be hard to find. Discovered here how beautiful minimal packaging can be.

  This is an interesting collection of objects that reflect German production history and general human history of interaction with objects. Interesting, nice museum shop.

  I liked it, but you shouldn't expect too much. I needed a museum to kill 2 hours and that's pretty much all the time you need to see everything there is. Nothing too special, just post world war Krimskrams.
