Programming includes approximately 750 appointments such as workshops, concerts, and lectures. Specific highlights involve an interactive ‘escape case’ investigation at the Museum of Communication, exploring the connection between Hollywood and crime at the Samurai Museum, and accessing political police archives at the former Stasi-Zentrale.
