DDR-Museum

It showcases key aspects of the former German Democratic Republic in a creative, hands-on way. Each section is carefully set up, and you can interact with almost every display, with clear explanations in both German and English. Open every drawer you see—each one is interactive and hides a surprise, from personal stories to everyday objects that bring the era to life. Original audio clips from the time are in German but sometimes explained in English, so you really grasp what life was like back then. If you want a true sense of daily life in East Germany, from work to home, leisure, and even sports, this is the place. Entry is free with the Berlin Pass, and you’ll need about 60–90 minutes to see everything. Highly recommended.

A great Museum with loads of interactive activities that truly let you explore the life behind the wall. Prices aren't steep, and the museum's a fun experience. The shop is filled with goodies of all kinds, and personally, I bought the DDR guide which was honestly an interesting read.

We had a great time at DDR Museum! The museum was very informative and it also had a lot of interactive displays, my children enjoyed it so much too. I also came here 10 years ago but feel like they have improved the museum so much. The staff were also very friendly. The only downside was that it was super crowded inside even though we visited here during weekday. We didn’t book any tickets in advance so we had to queue up about 20 mins. Otherwise a great museum and we’d love to visit here again!

Highly recommend this extremely interactive and educational museum! The exhibits were hands-on and very interesting. The Trabant driving simulator was a bit confusing to work out though. The museum gives a pretty good idea of what life was like in East Germany especially through the recreation of the average apartment. The electronic displays with information had many languages to choose from, and the interactive electronic exhibits were well made. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to get through all the exhibits.

I’d give the DDR Museum 4 stars because, while it was definitely interesting and well put together, I personally felt it was a bit overpriced. The entry fee was €13, but the museum only has one main floor, and I finished seeing everything in about 15 minutes. The interactive exhibits were engaging, and it gives a good glimpse into East German life — no doubt worth seeing if you’re curious about the GDR era. However, for the price, I expected a bit more to explore. That said, this was just my experience — it could vary from person to person depending on how much time you like to spend reading and interacting with exhibits.
