Zentralarchiv

The reading room in the Zentralarchiv of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin will reopen on 25 May 2020. It will be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 am to 5 pm to a reduced number of visitors. When planning your visit, please take note of the additional conditions of entry that have been introduced in order to reduce the risk of infection.

Booking

You can book a visit to the reading room via email (za[at]smb.spk-berlin.de) or by telephone (030 266 42 5701). Because we only have a limited number of spots available and want to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible, entry to the reading room is only permitted with a confirmed booking.

A maximum of 10 archive items can be requested per person, per day. With the correct call numbers, you can book a visit and request the relevant archive items up until 2 pm on the (business) day before your visit. If your visit requires research to be carried out, please get in touch well ahead of time.
