DDR Museum, Berlin

Awesome museum, right opposite the Berliner Dom, and easy to access. Really cool to see and touch some things from daily life in the DDR. You can sit at desks and use phones, go through drawers and use typewriters etc.. Cars, papers, uniforms and daily stuff all on display. There is also a mock up of an entire house in the DDR with Bedrooms, Lounge, Kitchen, Bathroom etc.. It is really well done, clean, interesting and interactive. Really cool place, definitely recommend going! Loved it!

Really cool! Loads of interesting displays and interactive exhibitions. Has a mock up of an east German apartment which is really immersive. Everything is written in both German and English. The museum isn't huge but is densely packed and we spent a good couple of hours here. We arrived at opening time of 10am and it was soon busy with school groups. Might be a bit quieter later on.

Very interesting content displayed in a very clean and interactive way. They do a great job with letting you actually use/play/experience the items of the day to day lives of the people living in the DDR. It's not just another museum with items behind glass. It was very clean and well looked after with all of the displays in great upkeep. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is because of it's location there is no parking, so public transport is really the way to go. At the time of writing this the city was installing a new rail line specifically connecting the highlight landmarks in the area.

Strongly recommend. Hands on museum which is cool for kids and adults. You can really get a feel for what life was like as there are artefacts from the time. Example: a children's room with original toys or a pencil case with original stationary. Really cool. Recommend staying 3 hours if you are really interested in this stuff.

Interesting items on show all from the Berlin Wall era. Very interactive museum - you are able to sit in a soviet car for example. In my opinion the second half of the museum, which showcases a model communist flat, was the more interesting part.
