The Wall Museum and the East Side Gallery

It is an interesting museum, yet the staff's attitude is very unprofessional and unreliable. After we noticed a factual historical inaccuracy as one of the pamphlets mentions the Georgian (instead of the Armenian) earthquake in 1988, the staff annoyingly replied in line with: "we hear this comment every month; our visitors from Australia would never know the difference anyways; we are not a history museum, we have a different topic; it would cost us 100 eur to change it, it is easier not to". With all respect to the fact that earthquakes have no political borders and to possible victims in Georgia (where Wikipedia mentions no casualties), this rather looks like a simple geographical typo that they do not want to admit. The devastating Spitak earthquake killed between 25,000 and 50,000 people in Armenia, and such defiant negligence of the staff made us question the rest of the quality of this otherwise interesting museum.

Much larger in real life than you can imagine. To think this wall divided a whole city in two for 30 years in unbelievable. This is the main part or "east side gallery" but other parts of the wall are still standing further along down the city. Some of them without any graffiti. Interesting artwork designed on a lot of it. But I would recommend seeing it from the west side (opposite side to where the road is) for a better viewing angle.

Really interesting museum. The man at the counter was really friendly and offered to answer any questions, he seemed very interested in sharing the history. The videos, photo and set up of the rooms were interesting. We spent about an hour and could have stayed longer. I learnt a lot and would recommend it. It is up a few flights so I am unsure if it is accessible to wheelchairs. Did not see a lift.

An interesting place to wander through and read the history via digital displays and some memorabilia. Some disturbing/grim testimonies and pictures. Quite pricy for what it was (we booked online in advance to save a couple of euro on the entrance charge). Not busy when we went, and the guide was friendly and welcoming.

Very informative museum. I enjoyed the videos of people's experience and the story telling throughout. Worth visiting if you would like to understand the Berlin Wall in more detail.
