Labyrinth Kindermuseum Berlin

What Labyrinth Kindermuseum Berlin does

Labyrinth Kindermuseum Berlin is a children's museum operating as Fabrik Osloer Straße Kindermuseum gem. GmbH, founded September 12, 1997 and located in a heritage-listed assembly hall (denkmalgeschützte Montagehalle) at Osloer Straße 12 in Berlin-Wedding. The museum is wholly owned by the nonprofit association Verein Fabrik Osloer Straße e.V. and serves families with children aged 3-11 through interactive, hands-on exhibitions. Its current flagship exhibition, TALENTOPIA – Die Ausstellung zum Mitmachen (opened May 18, 2025), features themed stations covering logic, creative arts, language, music, construction, and role-play, replacing the previous environmental exhibition 'Natürlich heute! Mitmachen für morgen' (December 2019 – May 2025). The museum has a small core team of approximately 13 employees, with leadership provided by Managing Director Ursula Pischel, who also heads in-house exhibition development.

The business model combines five revenue streams: individual and group admission (€6.50 / €5.00 per person), birthday party packages, workshop and event space rental, exhibition rental to other museums (currently 10+ venues across Germany and Europe including Kindermuseum München, Kindermuseum Zinnober Hannover, and FRida & freD Graz), and donations/grants. The museum states that approximately three-quarters of its budget must be self-funded, with the remainder covered by grants from foundations such as Deutsche Postcode Lotterie, Lotto-Stiftung Berlin, Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU), Stiftung Naturschutz Berlin, and the Berlin Senate Chancellery. Distribution channels include walk-in retail, pre-booked school and kindergarten (Kita/Hort) group visits, online booking, free downloadable scavenger hunts, and seasonal holiday programming. The technology stack is standard: Drupal CMS, self-hosted Matomo analytics, Usercentrics consent management, and Brevo email marketing — with no AI/ML capabilities and no mobile app. Celebrity patron is German actress Ulrike Folkerts.

Regional players

• Edwin Scharff Museum / Kindermuseum Neu-Ulm: Combined art and children's museum in Neu-Ulm, southern Germany. Comparable because it operates a children's museum component and has rented Labyrinth's traveling exhibitions, though its primary focus spans broader art exhibitions.
• Museum im Deutschhof Heilbronn: Heilbronn-based museum with children's programming and a venue that has hosted Labyrinth's rented traveling exhibitions. Comparable as a regional German museum operator that integrates children's interactive content into a broader cultural site.

Direct peers

• Kindermuseum München: Munich-based children's museum providing interactive, hands-on learning experiences. Comparable as a direct competitor in the German children's-museum segment, and also one of the venues that has rented Labyrinth's exhibitions, indicating bidirectional overlap.
• Kindermuseum Zinnober Hannover: Hannover-based children's museum offering hands-on interactive exhibits for young children. Directly comparable because it operates in the same German children's-museum category, serves the same 3-11 age group, and is explicitly listed as a venue that has hosted Labyrinth's traveling exhibitions.
• MACHmit! Museum für Kinder Berlin: Berlin-based interactive children's museum offering hands-on exhibits and educational programs. Directly comparable as a local competitor serving the same Berlin family audience and the same 3-11 age range with a similar interactive-exhibition model.
• Kindermuseum Weltsicht Wuppertal: Children's museum in Wuppertal offering hands-on, themed interactive exhibits for children. Comparable as a direct German peer in the children's-museum category with similar educational/exhibition focus and similar target audience.
• Explorado Kinderspielwelt Duisburg: Large hands-on indoor discovery/play center for children in Duisburg. Comparable as a direct competitor in the German family/children's interactive-attraction category and a venue that has hosted Labyrinth's traveling exhibitions.
• FRida & freD – Das Kindermuseum Graz: Austrian children's museum focused on interactive, themed exhibitions for kids. Comparable as a direct European peer in hands-on children's museum operations, and another venue that has showcased Labyrinth's rented traveling exhibitions.

Broad incumbents

• Phaeno Wolfsburg: Major science experience center in Wolfsburg with hands-on interactive exhibits including significant children's programming. Comparable as a broader-incumbent German science/learning attraction that overlaps with Labyrinth's hands-on family-visit model, though on a much larger scale.

Emerging players

• egapark Erfurt: Large garden/park complex in Erfurt with family and children's programming, including venues that have hosted Labyrinth's traveling exhibitions. Comparable as an out-of-school family learning destination that integrates interactive children's content into a broader attraction.
