Venue Hire for External Events
As a place of cultural encounter in the historic center of Potsdam, Museum Barberini is a unique setting for exclusive evening events of all kinds. Guests are surrounded by art and the venue provides a stunning backdrop for special occasions.
Private and Business Events
Booking an event at Museum Barberini gives your guests exclusive use of the museum facilities. They can visit the current exhibition and take their time looking at the exhibits. If you wish, you can round off the evening with a glass of wine or a “flying dinner” in the foyer or inner courtyard of the museum, where waiters serve the guests savory and sweet canapés as they stand chatting. This allows the guests to circulate while admiring the architecture of the reconstructed Palais Barberini and the views of the “Freundschaftsinsel” (Friendship Island), and the “Alte Fahrt” waterway.
Besides the art gallery and foyer, which can be booked to enjoy the works of art on an exclusive basis, it is also possible to book the auditorium, studio or restaurant space for an event.
Please note that external events can only be held in the museum spaces or inner courtyard outside normal opening hours, i.e. usually after 7 pm, or in exceptional cases on Tuesdays.

The auditorium of the Museum Barberini offers space for lectures, readings, talks, panel discussions or film shows. This room on the second floor of Museum Barbarini offers a media wall, modern conference technology and various seating options from formal to informal as well as a wonderful view of the Old Market Square. This facility offers ideal conditions for larger public events. The room can accommodate up to 190 guests. Guests are given exclusive free access to the current exhibition one hour before the start of every event.
