The David Hasselhoff Museum (or The Hoff Museum) is a museum dedicated to the American actor, singer, producer and businessman David Hasselhoff. It is located in the basement of the Circus Hostel in Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. It pays homage to 'arguably Germany's most famous non-German'.

The museum started on a small scale in 2008. In 2014, a more elaborate museum was created, which officially opened on March 6, 2015.

Collection

Items and memorabilia in the museum include:
