Globenmuseum

Part of the Nationalbibliothek collection of museums, along with the artificial-language-dedicated Esperantomuseum (same ticket) and the ancient paper Papyrusmuseum (separate admission, adult/child €5/free), this small museum inside a former palace (Palais Mollard) is dedicated to cartography and is said to be the only of its kind in the world. Among the collection of 19th-century globes and maps are some gems dating from the 16th century. Look for the globe made for Emperor Karl V by Mercator in 1541.

A combined ticket that includes the three museums plus the Nationalbibliothek Prunksaal and the Literaturmuseum costs €16.50.
