Small Museum but very informative - Much smaller than I expected but gave a good perspective on what it was like to live in East Germany in the 40s 50s and 60s. Exhibits included cars of the period household goods and a model of a East German apartment flat

An interesting foray into Germany's tumultuous past! - An interactive foray into what Germany's socialist past meant. Being from Romania, I found many similarities between the two countries. By the way, maybe there should be some testimonies about communism in Romania in the museum, given that there are many correspondences with countries from the old socialist block. I appreciated first of all the original character of the museum. It is an interactive place, each visitor does something, discovers how things were in that era. The situation is reproduced faithfully, from the interiors of the apartments to the technology that existed then, including cars, motorcycles etc. Visitors can get a clear idea of ​​what DDR meant, for this reason the museum team deserves congratulations, and this place is definitely worth visiting as an element of originality regarding Germany's recent history!

A lively and interactive journey through time to the GDR - The GDR Museum in Berlin is an absolutely exciting experience and brings the history of the GDR to life in an impressive way. The interactive exhibitions make it possible to delve deeply into the everyday lives of people in the GDR – from an originally furnished flat to cars and consumer goods from that time. We particularly like the fact that you can touch and try many things yourself here. It doesn't feel like a typical museum, but like a living journey through time. Complex topics such as Stasi surveillance and propaganda are also conveyed in an understandable and impressive manner. For those interested in history or who want to learn more about life in the GDR, this museum is an absolute must!

Interesting but crowded. - A fascinating glimpse into life in the DDR. Lots to see and fairly interactive. Downsides are that it is all displayed in quite a small area with no sense of structure/flow. It was also very crowded and hot. They would benefit from timed entries. Perhaps go early or later in the day. Definitely worth a visit.

Just ok - Somewhat disappointed with the experience. Would have thought it would contain more on segregation between West and East and totalitarian of the east. For the price not worth it, considering the Jewish museum was free and more indepth and emotional

Overcrowded - The museum was hugely overcrowded. It was not possible to see all the displays let alone do the more fun interactive activities (e.g. “driving” the Trabent car). The exhibits are interesting but would only recommend going in the off-season as it is an expensive ticket to be unable to access much of the experience.

Waste of time and money - Listen, we LOVE history and museums - this one is just downright terrible. Its biggest problem is that they let so many people in you can't even walk around, never-ending read things. Also, the things to read about aren't really interesting at all. Go to the Berlin Story Bunker, Tranenplatz or Stasi Museum instead.
