Berlin Photo Museum Clock: Which Photography Museum Is Open When You Are Free

Which of Berlin's photography museums is open when you are free. Pick a day, the time you can walk in, your ticket and your dates: Fotografiska, C/O Berlin, the Museum für Fotografie and Camera Work on a real map, with time left and prices.

Fotografiska in Mitte, and C/O Berlin, the Museum für Fotografie with the Helmut Newton Foundation and the Camera Work gallery at Zoologischer Garten, checked for your day, hour and ticket.

On a Monday afternoon only two of Berlin's four photography venues are open, and after 20:00 only one. This clock shows which doors are open when you are free, how long you get inside and what you pay.

What the clock shows

Berlin's photography is split between two corners of the city. Fotografiska is in the old Tacheles building in Mitte and stays open until 23:00 every day. C/O Berlin, the Museum für Fotografie with the Helmut Newton Foundation and the free Camera Work gallery sit around Zoologischer Garten, 9 minutes away on the S-Bahn. The map and the four rows show which of them is open at the time you can walk in, how many hours you get before closing, what your ticket costs and what is on show.

How to use it

  • Pick the day of the week. The Museum für Fotografie is closed on Mondays, Camera Work on Sundays and Mondays.

  • Choose the hour you can actually walk in, from 10:00 to 22:00. The green bar on each row is the time left before closing.

  • Set your ticket: adult, student, age 13 to 17 or child. C/O Berlin is free up to and including 18.

  • Pick your dates. The Museum für Fotografie is closed from 16 November to 2 December 2026.

Where the facts come from

Opening hours, prices and current exhibitions come from each venue's own website and the state museums' ticket shop, checked on 11 October 2026; the S-Bahn time is from the VBB timetable. Holiday hours can differ, so check the venue site before Christmas and New Year.
