Dark Matter Berlin – Entry Ticket
Light, sound & space fused into a sensory art experience.
Dark Matter isn’t a museum—it’s an immersive, multi-sensory journey through kinetic light installations, soundscapes, and digital art. Created by light artist Christopher Bauder, it’s one of Berlin’s most mesmerizing modern attractions. This guide covers tickets, timing, and what to expect inside.
Dark Matter Berlin at a Glance
A world of sound, light, and motion art—inside a former factory in Berlin-Lichtenberg. Each room unfolds a different rhythm and energy.
Concept
An experimental exhibition blending technology, light, and sound. Created by the team behind the kinetic show “Skalar”.
Atmosphere
Darkness, lasers, ambient sound, and slow transitions—every visitor shapes their own pace and focus.
What You’ll Experience
Seven installations flow seamlessly across the space—minimalism meets intensity.
Polygon Playground
Interactive floor projection responding to your movement—an instant favorite for kids and adults alike.
Inverse
A suspended grid of light tubes dances in sync with deep frequencies—hypnotic and meditative.
Tone Ladder
Walk through light columns that trigger tones; each step becomes a note in a live composition.
Grid & Fluid
Geometric light choreography and liquid-inspired projections that pulse to sound.
How to Visit
