Amazing Museum! The place is very huge, well planned and maintained, so take your time visiting it.

Free entrance, so you can always come back once you're more familiar with the German language, but some are translated in English and you can listen to the audio guide.

Suited for families with kids, couples, and solo. Recommend if you are visiting Bonn.

Truly a must see for every German citizen and everyone who is interested in German and recent European history.

What is especially captivating is the fact that each part of the exhibition is visually and physically enhanced by original objects and artifacts which are telling a story about their past much better than a simple picture or text.

While you can easily spend an entire day here without having seen everything, I’d recommend to split the entire exhibition in at least two visits to better process the vast amounts of information and pictures.

amazing museum with an extensive collection of exhibits dating from the end of WW2 to the refugee crisis in 2015. you can borrow an audio guide or use your own phone scanning QR codes for an interactive guide through the museum, and there is an actual robot called Eva offering details about exhibits as well. the admission is free with donations appreciated, and there are a cafe, a reading lounge and a shop on site.

The free entrance Museam that tells how German become today since 1945.

Wonderful journey and well planned. There are very informative and have some interactive tools available.

However, the English description is not available in small sections, so you would only have audio and narrative at the main theme.

Sparklingly clean and family friendly :)

Excellent Museum pointing out German history from 1945- to the present. The museum is quite interesting, take your time to visit. It takes a while to view carefully

It's like a museum with historical phenomenon. Here you can get different news, get to see features, objects and staff from world war. You can get a knowledge about German history. But the only problem is some of the guide are written in Deutsch language. Otherwise you can buy souvenirs, can take snacks in the first floor where there is a cafe. Just you have to put your bags in the first floor with free ticket.

Beautiful and large museum about post-WW2 Germany.
Nice exhibitions/collection and good audiotour.

Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in history and the troubles to rebuild the country after the war. It entails the social, cultural, economical and political problems.

Also good to know, the entry is free.
