Being from Canada and far too young to remember anything about the Cold War myself, I still found the exhibits in the DDR museum a lot of fun. It was a hands on place where everything was touchable and interaction with the exhibits was encouraged. The replica DDR apartment was absolutely the best part of the exhibit. Small, certainly, and... more

If you are of a "certain age," you remember the Cold War quite well and you don't need this museum to tell you what it was like. Also, I could not find some of the exhibits described in the brochure, such as the "bugged" telephone. I thought the museum overall was somewhat gimmicky. I would have liked more documents and... more

I was so looking forward to seeing this museum, especially after my son had visited last year and said it was a must. Well, Im sorry, but it wasnt must for us. It is small, cramped and the owners just seem to pile the visitors in until there is barely breathing space. It was difficult to be 'hands on' when... more

Had a fantastic time here, it was completely open: you can handle all the exhibits. Itreally gives you a chance to see exactly how the people in East Germany lived. Very well put together and well worth a visit! And they have a Trabant! Next I will go to the Stasi Museum, I think the two will complement each other. more

'Sweet' might be a lame description but, it's an appropriate one. I went there with my other half- we used one of the discount coupons from out Berlin Welcome booklet and figured we would give it a go and I am pleased we went in there as we have some lovely memories and photos. Negative points: It's small and will... more

Awful museum. Gimmicky and tacky. Ignores the whole theory behind East Germany and concentrates on the light hearted side. Doesn't do justice to the twisted actions of the Stasi to control the country. Completely overrated. more

Only visit the museum when you're interested in the every day life in the DDR. Nothing special about it. It could as well be a museum about the normal life in any western country during the 70's. Maybe nice for schoolkids, but for an a adult you can better go to the Mauer Infopoint at Bernauerstrasse. more

Okay, it's a nice museum but for kids. I went there feeling very excited because I thought it would be great and it was not. It's such a small place and it looks like they put everything they got from the 80s into shelves. It's alright for kids but if you are an adult with no children, don't even bother. more
