A warm welcome by bi lingual staff. We had the audio guide having left our coats and bags in the free lockers. No photos at all and the whole area covered by CCTV. Not sure why you couldnt take photos I guess so as not to get idiots glorifying things You really need to fully understand just how much time you need there as on paper You think a few hours, reality is a whole day wouldn't even cover it Masses of highly informative displays of material that really help to convey how events unfolded. The question how did we let it happen really is enforced with the way events unfold and to be honest even as a history buff I left knowing so much more and even asked myself how did so many stand by Great narratvie and superb english on the material. Shame no drink area as you need a cuppa after

Fantastic exhibition covering the rise of Hitler and the path to World War. The information is well laid out, with a really simple and easy to take in format. The information was clearly well researched and a lot of thought had gone into it. The audioguide was a nice addition with some extra info/context, however not so much that you couldn’t read for yourself. There was a lot of of sentsitve information however, often graphic images with no warning until you walk in the room - not a problem, but might be for more sensitive people. We did it in two hours, and we were going through at a brisk pace. Thoroughly recommend!

We intended to spend 2-3 hours but to our amazement we spent 5 hours at the exhibition!! The information about the physical bunker building was interesting, in context with the local Anhalter railway station and Hitler's bunker located nearby. However the explanation of how Hilter rose to power and then Germany in the second world war and WW2's impact on Germany and Berlin was particlarly interesting to me. The headset narration was interesting but the english / german story boards were more useful and coherent.

An absolutely fabulous museum with a fabulous timeline of events leading to the rise of Hitler starting from his childhood. My only complaints are the lack of seating and the temperature. It was -2° outside so I don’t understand why they had cold fans blowing. I put my coat in the cloak room because I assumed there would be heating not cooling… I was uncomfortable and FREEZING the whole time. I’m reality I could have gone and got it but kept thinking “surely it’s nearly done”. I underestimated the museums size. But still. It’s fine if there is no heating but please turn off the cooling!! There were seats, but it was normally one per room and often taken. We were there over 2 hours and I didn’t even read everything, not even close. You could spent 5 hours there easily, I think more seats are needed. My complains are only mentioned incase the museum reads my review. For potential visitors reading, my stance is it’s fabulous and the best museum in Berlin. GO!

The Bunker Story is really two separate museums over 3 floors of a WWII bunker. The first museum focusses on the rise of National Socialism, Hitler and WW2. The second museum focusses on Germany post 1968. There is a lot of information in the museum and it takes some time to get through. It’s very informative. The audio guide is ok but most of the information can be found on the Information boards etc on the walls. There is a mock-up of the living room of Hitler‘s bunker together with a large numbers of photos of what the bunker looked like. The second museum, on Germany post 1968, is smaller but nonetheless quite interesting. No photos are allowed and there are lots of steps (up and down).

My friend and I went into the bunker museum and took the audio tour (his was in German and mine was in English) at our own pace. The audio tour was different in that it was told from a first person point of view from the person who put together the exhibit. I don’t know that it was necessary to do the audio tour since the captions for the pictures were so thorough, but I liked having both available. We were both thoroughly engrossed. It was a deep dive into the history of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, so it was a lot to take in (and deeply disturbing at some points—obviously not unexpected, considering the subject matter). We both discussed having learned new information, despite having been to many other museum exhibits before. We were surprised to find that five hours had passed and it was dark outside when we left the building! Highly recommend.

One of the most thorough, engaging and overall powerful museum exhibitions you will ever see. Not only do you walk away with very clear and well thought-out answers to its central question, "Hitler - How could this happen?" But you arrive at these conclusions on your own because the Berlin Story Bunker has perfected the Show, Don't Tell advice that's usually given to filmmakers. It is a photo exhibit after all. If you can only choose just one experience in Berlin to give you a good understanding of Germany's complicated past - choose this. You won't regret it. Do come prepared to walk a good 5km at least, it is meticulously detailed, and plan for a minimum of 3 hours. Also, while I did see a few kids under 9 there, I would recommend this for ages 10 and above only because it involves so much walking and reading.

Excellent and very impressive exhibition of the history and root causes of the support of a big majority of German people for Hitler and the nazis. I spend four hours until closing time so I regret I missed the 1968-exhibition at the same place. It's a pity you can't take photos, and don't understand why, because more awareness on this is very welcome. Also a very good book store.

An unprecedented look into the life of Hitler. The vast majority of the exhibit focuses on his rise to power, with the end sections dedicated to WWII. Audio guide is included and is necessary to absorb the information presented. You can easily spend hours here reading through all of the panels. It is mainly pictures and reading, with some artifacts. All set up inside an old concrete bunker. Well worth the visit.

Really excellent story of how Hitler rose to power leading to his downfall. Excellent use of audio guides in many languages. Pitched in a really informative yet not dull way so that out 12 & 15 year old also got a lot out of it. Would highly recommend. Allow around 2-2.5 hours to listen to all of the audio. There is no food/drink facilities on site.
