In the few months before the outbreak of the Coruna epidemic, the Futurium Museum in the German capital Berlin witnessed a large number of visitors, as long lines queued in front of the museum on weekends.

The main topic of the museum, which is located near the main train station, is the question about the future life form, and it opens its doors to tourists for free until at least 2022, and some information about the future of the German capital can also be found.

The director of the museum, Stefan Brandt, explained that there were great resonances at the opening during September last year, and it was intended to visit about 200 thousand people during the first year, but the museum witnessed more than 510 thousand people visited until last March, that is, before the closure period Temporary because of the spread of corona virus.

The museum was initially designed to be a showroom for German works, and architects Richter and Mosikovsky took over, and alongside the federal government, almost 80% of the partners are large research centers and large industrial companies such as BASF and Siemens.

The general concept of the museum has been modified several times before the opening to go beyond the issue of German business presentation, as the museum is currently trying to gain a comprehensive understanding of important future questions and provide opportunities for dialogue, encouragement to act and take appropriate actions.

There is a small robot on the first floor that welcomes visitors and asks them to carry a bracelet equipped with a chip, and if he wants to have a deep knowledge about what he sees in the museum, he can put the chip on the charging units, after which the number written on the chip is entered on the website of the Museum of Futures to view More information.

Three major ranges

The exhibition is divided into three main scopes: Nature, Humanity and Technology, and the scope of nature revolves around questions such as how can nature be preserved in cities? As large areas of https://youtu.be/CY-AeSGPjQw lands are converted to residential sites, the disappearance of nature leads to grave consequences for human well-being and biodiversity.

Visitors see the GraviPlant project, where the rotating plant system allows trees to be planted on the facades of buildings, in the absence of sufficient space on the ground, and these plants work to reduce the high temperatures in buildings during the summer because heating and cooling the buildings causes 25 % Of global carbon dioxide emissions.

On the occasion of talking about green cities, the museum has a map of Berlin and the green spaces it contains, and the museum's topic is always about Berlin, such as how to organize traffic differently, and how can one imagine the participatory city? And what are the sustainable building materials in the German capital.

All exhibits aim to stimulate thinking in the future city of Berlin, and the importance of the Futurem Museum is not limited to the exhibition only, as the museum abounds with many events, events and workshops with the participation of school classes, who can design designs for the future.

The museum aims to stimulate thinking in the future and offer possible action options, but it does not specify future directions, and Brant explained that, "The museum does not specify where the journey is going, but it clarifies the paths one can take."

But there is no firm information on where these paths end? Or what are the obstacles and obstacles that one may face on these paths? There is no place in the Museum of the Future in Berlin for conspiracy theories, myths, and things that cannot be scientifically proven.

Future plans

There are some future plans for the Museum of Futurism is to establish a permanent exhibition until the year 2021 on the subject of mobility, with the possibility of constantly updating it.

In addition to the holding of temporary exhibitions in the long term, the inauguration of the Futuremuseum to exit from the capital to the outside regions, and the expansion of the workshops, it has not yet been determined whether or not a visit to the museum will remain free after 2022, and therefore the tourists of the German capital must visit the Museum of the Future in as soon as possible.
