In 1967, East Germany had part of a coral reef off Cuba taken apart and shipped to Berlin's Museum für Naturkunde. Those corals now sit in a free room on the Humboldt Forum's first floor, along with a stuffed king penguin, one of the few pieces left from Berlin's Museum für Meereskunde, destroyed in 1945.

The route runs from the seabed to the stars, through zones for the coast, the city, bathtubs, puddles and drought. Each shows research by some of the more than fifty scientists from the Berlin University Alliance, alongside work by six artists. You walk past an 1889 wave bathtub, a dried puddle pressed onto film and a draft law giving the Spree its own rights, while an audio track has researchers explaining why water is worth listening to. Berlin, it turns out, has more than one puddle researcher.

Entry is free and step-free, in German and English, and it leans more science than art. The Humboldt Lab is open 10:30 to 18:30, closed Tuesdays.

Ez galdu

  • The Cuban corals

    Look for coral from a reef at Arroyo Bermejo on Cuba's north coast, dismantled in 1967 and shipped to East Berlin for display.

  • The king penguin

    A mounted king penguin and a four-fluke boat anchor, rare survivors of the Museum für Meereskunde, once one of Berlin's most popular museums.

  • Carl Dittmann's wave bathtub

    A Berlin plumber's patented tub with a curved bottom, so bathers could rock themselves and bring the surf into their own bathroom.

  • The SpreeBerlin Buoy

    Jakob Kukula's buoy measures water quality, flashes lights to warn of pollution and releases oxygen in hot months so the river can breathe.

  • Sap Score

    Andreas Greiner wired trees in and around Berlin with sensitive microphones, so you hear water rising through them as a many-voiced concert.
