Over 1,000 original historical artefacts from feudal Japan await your group at the Samurai Museum Berlin: craftsmanship of exceptional precision, combined with the profound philosophy of creation. In just 60 minutes, your guests will experience the museum’s highlights: historical samurai artefacts from all eras, a spacious Noh theatre and a traditional tea house.

Exclusive Samurai Collection: the Peter Janssen Collection
The Peter Janssen Collection ranks among the world’s most renowned collections of Japanese samurai culture. Over 45 years ago, Peter Janssen acquired his first item at a Berlin flea market. Today, it has grown into one of the world’s largest private collections of samurai culture – unique in both quality and scope.
Innovative exhibition concept
The interactive, high-tech exhibition was developed exclusively for the samurai artefacts: holographic projections, interactive stations, rotating display cases and magical fans engage directly with visitors. This brings legends to life. History you can touch.
From samurai clans to tour groups
The Samurai Museum Berlin works closely with established Berlin tour operators and is fully aware of the typical requirements of tour groups: tight time slots, clear communication and reliable terms and conditions.
