What do you experience in Dialogue in Silence?
Dialogue in Silence® is an experiential exhibition in which you step into ‘a different, silent world’.
You wear noise-cancelling headphones and are guided through the world of silence and nonverbal communication by deaf guides. They take you on a journey without a spoken word which is alive with communication. Experience the beauty of non-verbal communication, and learn how to speak with your hands and to hear with your eyes.
Learn from our experts in body and sign-language.
This is a journey which will enrich you with insights into the fascinating world of deaf people. Their ability to communicate offers you new ways of understanding.
In our 60 minute tours, deaf guides lead you in small groups through our especially sound-proofed exhibition rooms. You wear noise-cancelling headphones and step into a variety of situations which require non-verbal communication. Diving into this new world has the effect of reducing anxiety. It clears up common misunderstandings and bridges the gap between the worlds of deaf people and others.
A great opportunity to overcome fears of communicating with deaf people.

We have been offering this experiential exhibition, Dialogue in Silence, in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt since 2014. In 2016 we received the ADAC Tourism Prize for this exhibition format.
Our guides are convinced: a visit to Dialogue in Silence is a must!
Because you can overcome anxiety around contact. Because a change of perspective happens and this is a wonderful experience for every visitor. It is rewarding to realise that one can communicate perfectly well, relying only on non-verbal communication. Everyone has the chance to communicate in an easy and relaxed way with the deaf and to be bolder, more tolerant and more open. Prejudices can be dismantled. Visitors enjoy the pleasure and elegance of sign-language.
