After the destruction of the building on Augustusplatz, the museum began a 61-year odyssey through several interim arrangements.
After it was taken in 1948 in areas of the former Reichsbank in Petersstraße, it moved in 1952 into the building of the former Reichsgericht.

After the decision on the relocation of the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig in May 1992, the museum had to move again in August 1997 into an interim site in Handelshof.
The collection was shown in limited form at the interim sites.
