MUSEUMSMEILEMITTE: A WALK THROUGH PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

In the middle of Berlin, art, science, and nature are only a few minutes apart. With the first neighborhood festival of MuseumsMeileMitte on 13.06.2026, Futurium, Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Naturkunde, and the Museum of Medical History are making that proximity tangible. Together, they invite you to embark on a journey of discovery with family, friends, or people you might meet from the neighborhood. The four institutions are part of the newly founded MuseumsMeileMitte initiative. Each of them is different in its own way, but shares a common goal: to make knowledge and culture accessible and to bring people into conversation with one another. That is also what the first neighborhood festival at Futurium is all about. Since Futurium opened in 2019, the institution has been exploring the question “How do we want to live?” And it’s precisely this question that runs through the free program. At the neighborhood quiz “Um die Hecke gedacht”, put your knowledge to the test. If you’d rather get hands-on, develop sustainable products from old mobile phone parts in the Urban Mining workshop, or build new worlds together in the game “Just Add People”. The workshop “Bewegende Nachrichten” sounds particularly exciting. Here, write letters around questions such as: Where do our perspectives differ? What still connects us? Afterward, the messages travel from museum to museum, carrying your thoughts through the neighborhood.

Delve even deeper into Futurium’s themes and choose between three guided tours: “Discovering and Shaping the Future” explores how we might live tomorrow, while “Futures Literacy and the Oceans of Tomorrow” takes you on an interactive journey through possible futures for our oceans. Of course, it’s also worth making a detour to the other venues along MuseumsMeileMitte. At Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Naturkunde, and the Museum of Medical History, more exhibitions await you, also free of charge. To round off the day, the 25-member brass band “Fanfare Gertrude” will bring French street music to Futurium’s forecourt. Perhaps the best thing about this neighborhood festival is that no one has to think about the future alone. Instead, people discuss, play, build, and discover together. And along the way, you might not only encounter new ideas, but also meet new people from the neighborhood.

FROM SABICH TO ROGALACH: THE FIFTH KOSHER STREETFOOD FESTIVAL

It’s Sunday, the cafés are full, the weekly market is already packed, and the usual weekend options feel too familiar. This is the perfect moment to head to the courtyard of the Neue Synagoge on Oranienburger Straße. On 21.06.2026, Berlin’s Jewish Community invites you to the 5th Kosher Street Food Festival, with free admission, more than 50 food trucks and stands, and a menu that ranges from rogalach, sabich, charcoal-grilled pargiot, and babka to specially kosher-prepared momos, poke bowls, and Indian dishes. The festival is a preview of the 39th Jewish Culture Days Berlin, which will bring together music, theater, literature, film, art, conversations, and encounters from 12.-22.11.2026. The first program highlights have already been announced. For the festival opening, Marina Maximilian brings together pop, soul, jazz, and electronic sounds, while Rami Kleinstein will take the stage for a concert evening. But before the stages and concert halls take over in November, June is about eating and celebrating. Alongside the food stands, there will be a stage program with comedy by Christian Schulte-Loh, acrobatics by Monsieur Chapeau, a magic show, and live music by the Weichsel Sharks Jazz Band and Schalldruck. For children and families, there will be, among other things, a bouncy castle and a petting zoo. If you want to discover just how diverse kosher cuisine can be, come by on Sunday, eat your way through the festival, and get a first glimpse of Berlin’s Jewish culture along the way.

SHALL WE DANCE ON SATURDAY MORNING? THE CROISSANT SESSIONS x EDITED AT BAR BASTA

I think Saturday mornings deserve to be celebrated. After all, that’s what the weekend is for. So leave your to-do lists and errands behind for now, head out, and join us for the first Croissant Session of 2026. This Saturday (06.06.2026), we are teaming up with Berlin-based fashion brand Edited at Bar Basta, and we hope you will stop by. Back in summer 2025, we were in the mood to dance, meet nice people, and ease into the weekend in a relaxed way, with music and good vibes. That’s how the Croissant Sessions came to be. After five editions at various Berlin locations and five different DJ sets, we took a short winter break. But now we are back. For this first edition of 2026, we’ve teamed up with the Edited crew, who have just launched their Soft Power collection. For the tunes, we’ve invited DJ Aneleon from Refuge Worldwide and once again convinced the Bar Basta team to open up the venue’s big windows and kick off a Saturday morning gathering that moves easily between indoors and out. In other words, tunes, good drinks, and snacks are taken care of. Fashion inspiration, too. The only thing missing is you, so use the RSVP link here. First come, first in.

WEB3 SUMMIT AT FUNKHAUS BERLIN — HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THE NET

What do social media, cloud computing and LLMs have in common, besides the fact that they’re all heavily enmeshed in our lives? The answer is that all of these systems are dominated by two or three giant companies. If you are looking for an alternative to this hyper centralization, you might be interested in checking out the Web3 Summit, an upcoming gathering of folks on a mission to fix the internet (18 & 19.06.2026). Featuring conversations, workshops and installations, the two-day program is all about creating a decentralized, democratic digital space. The colorful lineup of futurists and commentators includes economist and author Yanis Varoufakis, Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, self-declared cypherpunk Rachel-Rose O’Leary and blockchain legal expert Nina Siedler. Their guiding principle is Web3, a way of running the internet that uses distributed ledgers known as blockchains – a technology you may know from bitcoin and NFTs.

Discussions include how to protect privacy, what digital ownership really means and how to make the web more participatory. The program also encourages you to get hands on yourself by playing with and remixing decentralized software at the Playground.dot app-building space. Meanwhile, the culture side of things includes an ambient performance by violinist Hoshiko Yamane and composer Makoto Sakamoto followed by an afterparty with sunshine sounds from NTS resident Prosumer – a fun way to re-anchor yourself in the present after two days venturing into the furthest frontiers.

PATIOS, CRACKLING, LIEBE GRÜSSE: CONTRASTS IN CC’S CALENDAR TIPS

The first weekend in June is buzzing and full of contrasts. There are warm and cold books, old and new films, inside and outdoors, empty and packed art evenings. Here are CC’s Calendar tips for the start of summer. A house within a house, a room within a room: today (04.06.2026), the In Wirklichkeit unmöglich exhibition opens at BDA Galerie, featuring models by set designer and Schaubühne production manager Jan Pappelbaum. Created between 1996 and 2026, on display are spaces built for the stage, for Hedda Gabler, Hamlet, or The Seagull. The exhibition asks about the reality of architecture, its conditions on stage, and the social role of theater. Nothing in your calendar for tomorrow? Sometimes it’s the gaps that are most exciting. On Friday (05.06.), ACUD Galerie launches Venus in Three Movements, a program interested in exactly that: what is missing from archives, what disappears, or what was never recorded in the first place. The starting point is Saidiya Hartman’s concept of “critical fabulation”, which understands archives as products of the power structures that created them, not neutral repositories. Together with Zack Darsee and Nadia Marcus of Tabloid Press, an evening of readings and performances takes shape around the personal, the fleeting, and the barely graspable. If you like literature combined with other art forms, this is for you. Now for abundance, or rather, full portfolios: starting Friday (05.06.), the graduating graphic design class of Lette Verein will celebrate its exhibition Liebe Grüße at Kunstquartier Bethanien.

After months of drafts, critique sessions, and final submissions, the graduates will present their work and celebrate everyone who has accompanied them along the way. After stages and screens, a look at the city itself: in Schöneweide, the SchoeneVibes collective brings together various Berlin initiatives and associations at the 21st Festival for Democracy(06.06.), all of them committed to collective action. There will be insights into their work around coexistence, civic engagement, and urban society. And there will be stickers to design yourself. Long days are followed by long nights. During the Long Night of Science (06.06.), three poets from Afghanistan and Syria from The Poetry Project will read texts on migration and belonging in Berlin. They will be joined by students from the Institute for African and Asian Studies. The evening is called Berlin Belonging. Sunday (07.06.) is a fourfold invitation to leave the house. One of them leads to Knistern at Richten25, where the Berlin-based artist Duendita, who has just released her new album Existential Thottie, will perform. Her music moves between soul, jazz, R&B, and experimental soundscapes. If you’re looking for a place to sit, you will also find a place to read at Accidental Interest Books, where Ferdinand Dölberg and Jan Koslowskiwill present their book Warm, Kalt und Sehnsucht. Readings by the authors themselves, and also from Mark Tumba, Banafshe Hourmazdi, and Brigitte Cuvelier, accompanied by music from Ali Atari. After that, it’s easy to drift into thought among the greenery at The Frame. The reformer pilates studio is celebrating its terrace on Sunday (07.06.). At the Garden Opening, the season begins with matcha, drinks, smoothie bowls, and, hopefully, plenty of sunshine. Let’s stay outside a little longer: on Sunday (07.06.), Feasts of Eden is clearing out its warehouse on Urbanstraße. Experience suggests that these kinds of clear-outs at event spaces are often more exciting than many design markets. At the flea market, find decor, furniture, clothing, and all kinds of treasures from past productions. And in the Graefekiez, many more courtyard flea markets are taking place at the same time, so a stroll through the neighborhood is definitely worth it. For Sunday evening (07.06.), which may well end on the sofa, Q Studios Berlin is releasing Freier Fall – Wer du bist, a reinterpretation of Stephan Lacant’s film. The latest teaser promises a fresh take on the story, with Hanno Koffler, Max Riemelt, and Katharina Schüttler in leading roles. The new version screened on Monday as a Mongay special at Kino International. And one more tip for later in June: on Friday (26.06.) and Saturday (27.06.), A Song For You Berlin, together with the Konzerthausorchester, will bring A Soulful Missa to Konzerthaus Berlin. The starting point is Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, but seen through the lens of the collective. The Berliner Vocal Ensemble, with a strong feel for soul, has reimagined the work for Beethovenfest Bonn. After its premiere there, the project is coming to Berlin.
