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 [1] in Mitte district of Berlin, Germany.[2] It pays homage to 'arguably Germany's most famous non-German'.[3]
The museum started on a small scale in 2008. In 2014, a more elaborate museum was created,[4] which officially opened on March 6, 2015.[3]
