Great for all ages - Went to this museum as part of a school trip. The exhibits were spot on and brilliant for all ages groups from the apartment to the music, the car simulator to the very informative visual displays.

A great and nostalgic experience if you lived through the 60s and 70s - We spent most of a morning here. It was a fascinating and nostalgic trip back in time - and we are not even Ossis (we’re British) to life in the 60s and 70s when a divided Germany and Berlin was just how the world was. Was it a bit triumphalist? I’m not sure … I’m not sure that most of Britain didn’t look a lot like this too - though of course we were free to come and go as we pleased! I had to show a young girl how to use a dial telephone! She was just pushing her fingers into the holes.

Great GDR museum - It’s a fantastic museum. If you are interested in the GDR then this museum is for you! We got in for free with the Berlin Welcome Card. Lots of hand on experience and nice room set ups showing you how people lived. We really enjoyed an hour here.

Fun and interactive - Excellent museum that allows to pass on overcrowding and heat. pity because I would have liked to stay longer so original in its design. To recommend especially who you have teenagers. Congratulations to the museum designers for the apartment, the drawers...

I found it interesting - I found the museum exciting. Many details reminded me of previous visits to the former GDR. I particularly liked the rebuilt new apartment and the re-enactment of a listening station and much more. I find the documentation very successful. In my opinion, too many visitors are allowed into the not very large museum at the same time.

Tells a good story - There is a lot of information here. A lot to read too. All very interesting stuff. Several exhibits for you to lift or open doors to find info. Some electronic ones with different languages too. I felt it was far too crowded and very warm in there as a result. Difficult to appreciate everything in there when Folks just stop in front of you!

A cluttered museum with no common thread. - This museum doesn't appeal to me. Feels messy without any special structure. Nothing I can recommend. I had expected more factual information in a historical context.
