Denise KotsuboJune 11, 2018Very touristic, but you get a lot of fun. The museum is very detailed and interactive. Even if the ticket is not that cheap, to visit once is worth it.
Norbert MikoMarch 17, 2018Spent 2hours inside, no queue at 5pm. Nice retro about how ppl lived back then. But tons of ppl live in similar flats now in Ukraine. Chech a Trabant inside and take it for a virtual ride! :)
George M.October 18, 2015Although the museum does not contain the most exciting stuff, it succeeds in providing great knowledge regarding that time not that long ago where the city was split into two.
Maraj Al ZadjaliMarch 3, 2019Nice museum at Berlin; shows you the history of Germany and how Germans lived before. The German house was the most interesting part of museum.
Raphael LangenscheidtOctober 11, 2018Great museum, despite the touristy crowd. Interactive, individual, interesting. Worth the pricey entrance. Not to be missed - the new apartment and it’s tv with original DDR programming.
Stoian AnastasiaDecember 10, 2017Most interactive museum in Berlin! It shows the life of german people in communism, but so so nice. It should be on your list if you come to Berlin :)
Ryan PaulSeptember 17, 2019Interactive museum about the former GDR (socialist east Germany), worth checking out to see objects from the era & to learn about life in the GDR
KatiaNovember 9, 2017Lovely museum about life in East Germany during the Cold War. Very immersive and insightful, and you get to visit a typical flat from that era.- Z LAugust 17, 2016The living room & kitchen recreation is really cool. You can take the books and board games out from the shelves to have a look inside or watch original TV programs.
J KoflerNovember 14, 2018Buy the ticket online and skip the queue! Try to find a time when it's not totally overcrowded, then you can enjoy the interactive parts. Otherwise it's a hassle to squeeze past everybody else...
Samantha BronsteinJuly 27, 2017A super informative and hands on museum . Gives you a full feeling of life behind the wall and all that it entailed. Hands on and mostly wheelchair accessible.
MariekeAugust 22, 2012I really liked this museum, also because of the interaction. However, lots of people in a small space isn't ideal. Eat something in the DDR restaurant afterwards to complete the experience!
Marina BurityMay 16, 2015Probably one of the most interactive museums of the world, it's an amazing way to know what life was for berliners on the east side
B. Aaron TalbotJanuary 1, 2018cool, compact, and interactive museum full of remnants from the old east berlin, including a great replica of an apartment...- Ayshea HNovember 1, 2016Fun and informative interactive museum, a truly lovely experience. The DDR recipes at the restaurant are a nice touch
John 忠威 suɐɥ Dyke🐑August 31, 2014This a must see museum with a good insight into life in the erstwhile DDR. Gets very busy so get there early
Omid AshtariMarch 20, 2013Very fun museum with a lot of interactive exhibits. Not too big either so perfect if you have 2 hours to kill. Also, get 2 Euros off for checking in!
Deniz TurkcuJanuary 21, 2018Most interesting museum in Berlin. Great way to learn the daily life in eastern germany
Kenny VanelderenJuly 9, 2012Nice museum, very interactive too. Be sure to take a ride in the trabi. You also get a discount when you are checked in on foursquare.
Natasha BrrAugust 20, 2019Really interesting here! A lot of things to try by yourself! You can book your tickets online
Mirjam De JongDecember 16, 2013Really cool museum!!!! You can open, pickup and touch almost everything!!! Try the East German dance together, great fun!!
SemihAugust 14, 2015Such a waste of time for £7 pp. it s so small and there is so few to see inside. I recommend everyone to go for Forum exhibition in Leipzig, it s also for free!- Federica ParatiJanuary 5, 2016When I saw it, it was really crowded, but still really interesting. It takes more than two ours if you read everything
- Samantha BronsteinJuly 27, 2017A great hands on museum that is mostly accessible. Gives you a real hands on adventure of life behind the wall.
VansiAugust 19, 2017The museum is really interesting and has a lot of information in a small space. It can get crowded.
Aline BrandãoOctober 16, 2015Interactive museum about life in East Germany. You can even "drive" a Trabi.
- Lena R.August 28, 2016Nice museum about life and culture of the GDR. Very interactive, reasonably informative. Usually very crowded!
Kimberley CookSeptember 3, 2015One of my least favourite museums during my trip to Berlin. Far too crowded so I couldn't actually read any of the exhibits.
Marc GDecember 14, 2015This doesn't feel like a museum at all. Lots of small activities to do. It's very fun and worth checking if you have an hour
Victoria PenevaJanuary 5, 2014If you have checked in before buying tickets,you can get a 2 euro discount. You have to insist that the app you have used to check in is Foursquare, otherwise they tend to say that it is not :D
Pelin DuraJanuary 7, 2015great place to explore the lifestyle of socialist germans. it is a very interactive museum
Carolina MaioranoJune 7, 2014Interactive, interesting and fun museum. Good choice to learn history in a different way.
- J TOctober 9, 2016Very interesting museum, good bit of GDR history from the perspective of individual lives.
ArnoldSeptember 6, 2011If you want to know how the people of the DDR (GDR) lived back in the days, you must visit this museum (ik geef het museum een 7).
Milad CerkicMarch 1, 2017Blast from the DDR past. I liked it. Reminds of my childhood in ex Yugoslavia. Recommend!
Panos ArkomanisAugust 13, 2017A place to be for history reason! You must see to believe what was happening
Benjamin WeyFebruary 16, 2016Cool interactive Museum, but to. Be avoided in adverse weather as it can be extremely crowded
Erlend HauklandMay 16, 2017Interesting and interactive museum highlighting the lives of people in the DDR.
Jess KellyFebruary 26, 2015This museum is fab. Really interactive and engaging but with all the legit content.
Mariana GarciaFebruary 25, 2015Silly museum in fact. DDR history deserved so much more than a superficial exhibition.
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateDecember 16, 2014The whole history of the Democratic Republic years, awesome, a must
Annix L.April 3, 2016Actually fine for a first overview of life in the DDR. Very visual and interactive.
