The Humboldt Forum is a universal museum on the Spree Island in the Historische Mitte district of Berlin, under the auspices of the Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace. The building was constructed from 2012 to 2020 on the site of the historic Berlin Palace and features its reconstructed facades on three of its outer sides and in its courtyards. With collections from the National Museums in Berlin, the Berlin City Museum and the Humboldt University in Berlin, it expands the Museum Island's offerings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was initially opened digitally only on 16 December 2020. With the opening on 20 July 2021, which was attended by Berlin's governing mayor Michael Müller (SPD), visitor operations began.
