Ramones Museum

Kreuzberg


They sang ‘Born to Die in Berlin’, but the legacy of American punk pioneers the Ramones is kept very much alive in the German capital, thanks to this eclectic collection of memorabilia. Look for Marky Ramone’s drumsticks and Johnny Ramone’s jeans amid signed album covers, posters, flyers, photographs and other flotsam and jetsam. The on-site cafe also hosts the occasional concert.
