DDR Museum

Really nice and informative museum. Kids enjoyed the interactive parts of the museum and they were very engaged during their stay. It can be a bit overwhelming with all the information about the history, and at least for us we were missing some structure as how to approach all of this information. However it didn’t affect our whole impression of the museum.

Very interesting museum about life in East Berlin (East Germany) post WWII. Great atmosphere with a lot of information and interactive exhibits. I personally really enjoyed the apartment set up at the end of the museum tour. So cool to see how people lived during that time inclusive of TV shows you can watch that demonstrated what East Germans could watch and what West Germans could watch. This is well worth a visit while in Berlin.

It is a very cool museum, and they present the history very interactively. Absolutely worth to visit if you are interested in the history of Berlin and the East German socialism. If you are interested in motorcycles, you can even buy the combined ticket with the DDR motorcycle museum (it is a smaller one, but they have some nice old pieces).

I thought the exhibits were interesting and the theme is in general fascinating. However, I felt like most of the information was just thrown at the visitors at random bulks rather than in a coherent, logical manner.
The museum also felt a little too crowded at times.

Easy five stars for a brilliantly interactive museum.

Really imaginative take on life under the DDR regime. Well thought out, lots of innovative ways to learn about what went on and great exhibits.

There is a good narrative and structure to what is a relatively small museum. This makes the most of the content and really brings home how East Germany operated. Plus, there's a sense of humour in much of the content????????????????!!!

Only criticism is around the size and how popular it is. When it's busy there can be an annoying wait to interact, so get down there early or late to get the place to yourself.

First I have visited last month the other Museum in Knaackstraße 97, 10435 Berlin
And now visited this one, and i can say you should visit both of them.
I liked how both museums are active and you really touch and feel the old stuff, and in this museum, you will find a car that used to manufactured in east Germany, and you will be able to drive it with simulator program. For me it was a great moment and I felt that I traveled in time and lived in east Berlin for a moment
