Deutsches Historisches Museum

Unter den Linden 2
10117 Berlin,
Germany

The Deutsches Historisches Museum (DHM, German Historical Museum) was founded in 1987 by the chancellor of Germany, Helmut Kohl and the mayor of Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin. It is situated in the Zeughaus, the oldest structure on the Unter den Linden avenue in central Berlin.
In 2004 an extension to the DHM, designed by I. M. Pei, was completed. In 2006 the restoration of the Zeughaus building, founded in 1695, was completed and the DHM Museum opened with an exhibition of German History in Images and Testimonials from Two Millenia.
The DHM hosts the "LeMO: Lebendiges virtuelles Museum Online" website.

In seinem Programm vom 24. Juni 1987 verpflichtete sich das Deutsche Historische Museum der "Aufklärung und Verständigung über die gemeinsame Geschichte von Deutschen und Europäern".
Kurz nach seiner Gründung 1987 hatte das DHM mit dem Sammlungsaufbau begonnen. Einen ersten Querschnitt durch den rasch angewachsenen Fonds von Erwerbungen präsentierte seit Dezember 1994 die Dauerausstellung "Bilder und Zeugnisse der deutschen Geschichte" mit mehr als 2000 Exponaten. Den Besuchern bot sich so ein Überblick über die Zeugnisse deutscher Geschichte im europäischen Umfeld. Wechselausstellungen zur Kultur- und Zeitgeschichte begleiteten das Programm.
