Sugar Museum

The Museum of Sugar in Berlin, opened more than 100 years ago in cooperation with the Institute of Sugar Industry, is the first "sweet" museum in the world, now part of the German Technical Museum.

Opened on May 8, 1904, the museum was built over three years under the direction of Anton Adams.

The road to the museum with an exhibition area of 450 square meters goes along a staircase decorated with marble through a four-storey tower 33 meters high, on top of which there is a sundial.

The exposition of the museum has seven thematic halls: Sugarcane, Slavery, Sugar Production, Alcohol and Sugar, Sugar in the Age of Colonization, Sugar Beets in Prussia, World Without Sugar.

The museum will introduce you to the technological process of sugar production, tools that were used in different eras. The most valuable exhibits of the museum are a three-shaft mill brought from Bolivia, as well as fragments of a medieval mill found during excavations. In addition, the museum has a separate exhibition of various shapes and packaging used by the manufacturers of this product.
