It is a pretty long walk to see the whole art, but I assure you that it is worthwhile. Some parts of the wall were covered when I visited due to some active construction work in the area, but rest of it was beautiful. A combination of traditional, modern, and abstract art can be seen. Night view of the river is splendid from the bank nearby, and is a must visit in Berlin.

Unpretentious museum with a treasure of historic film content. Friendly to English speaking visitors. Most headphones are a bit broken though they are still in working condition. Would recommend this place.

Museum was a bit over priced, lots of screens weren't working. Better off just walking the wall. DDR museum is more worthwhile

They need to sort the experience out. All out of sync, no proper timeline or story flow. Half the headphones don't work. The videos feel like they were edited by some one on drugs, they are all over the place and make no sense. Thought I was going to go in and learn about the history of the wall, to be honest I came out none the wiser. Also the cleaner is trying to vacuum in the middle of the day around customers.

I had never seen so much footage of the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. It really hammers home how recent it was and how Berlin, Germany and the world are still dealing with the consequences today. It was truly very moving and heartbreaking. There is some heavy hitting stuff so make sure you are mentally prepared for it. At the end of the East Side Gallery so you can walk along the wall on your way to or from the museum. A refreshing change from the USA-centric narrative and details the role of Gorbachev and Germany in bringing down the wall. Cheaper than a lot of the other Wall Museums, this one is definitely worth a visit.

Simple but educational museum giving the background of the wall and stories of eastern German people, guards and escapees of this Soviet monument to oppression. The museum has numerous projections and video with many English subtitles and versions making this a great choice even for non German speakers. It is tucked inside the entrance to a bistro and is on the second floor. Much like the TARDIS is bigger that it looks.

I enjoyed the video footage of people who experienced living with the wall. All videos had English subtitles but it wouldn't be very interesting for someone who doesn't speak English or German.
Book online to save a couple of Euros too! It's more expensive to pay in the museum.
