Do NOT go here. The museum is badly organized and everyone in here is confused. Tons of text and pictures but no path to follow. Not worth the money. I'd suggest to go to "Story of Berlin".

A small museum full of interesting personal stories about (un)successful escapes from DDR. ???? cost €14,50 for adults & €9,50 for students. Kids get in for free.Better get an audio guide for extra €5.

This place throws a lot of information at you, making it hard to really get into it. Even worse are the little mistakes and inaccuracies. After your visit, pick up a decent book about the Cold War...

Lena R.

It's like walking through a bad history book about the Berlin Wall , except all pages are scrambled. Don't go.

Irvin Padilla

Interesting place for all of us who still get amazed by the war consequences.. A bit expensive to my point of view ..

Jackson Tsai

Learn the history and the stories behind the Berlin Wall

Alexander Antsiferov

No ventilation. So you can vividly imagine the atmosphere of riding through checkpoints in 2 suitcases in the trunk of VW Beetle.

Ellen Petit

The worst. Jam-packed with information, but no logical order whatsoever. It’s a real shame, cause the stuff I did read, was very interesting. The amount of text and the mess was just off putting.

Tom Baudewijn

Well-intended, badly executed. This museum could really use a proper curator to structure the chaos it currently is. Profound lack of vision and storytelling.

Torben Andersen

It's pretty cheap to get in, and once you enter you understand why. But at least it's honest. Not commercialized. (No air con. It's like a oven during summer).

Lina

Disappointing. Too much information to read in too tiny rooms. The lack of logical order or chronology of the info panels presented made me loose interest very quick.

Oh-Berlin.com

A disappointment and the entrance fee is way too much for an out-dated museum like this. It is pure information overkill .. Unstructured and confusing. No new media and interacting. Really just for peo

Lisa Bailey

I wish we didn't waste our money on this place. I expected more artifacts , but there was more stuff to read. Save your money and google the info you want.

Murat

Impressive, but outdoor.

Alix De Grez

No logic or chronology and too many information. The audio guide helps to sort these information out.

Daron Yondem

Near hostile staff ! It's like they don't want any visitors in here.

Gi Edgington

Abbie Molesworth

Very touristy and gimmicky. Disappointed.

Pam Biesbroek

Information overkill . Expensive compared to other museums .

Juliette Rien

Absolute tourist trap

Günther Mulder

It's a part of history in and of itself.

pc britz

Worst museum ever. Don't go. Check out the other comments, too!

Agata Wyszyńska

Too much text. Not very interesting. Similar to DDR museum , but DDR was more interesting.

Hubert Figuière

Photography is not allowed.

Tim Ceuppens

Chaotic. Overpriced. Overcrowded. Avoid at all costs.

Brenda

Tourist trap!

heidekatharina !

Interessant & sehenswert. Sehr viel Geschichte, sehr informativ. Zusätzlich Infos über Religion & andere bedeutende geschichtliche Ereignisse neben der deutschen Geschichte. Zeit mitbringen!

Eldar Abusalimov

Интересные экспозиции , об истории послевоенной Германии, противостоянии коммунизму и борьбе за права человека. Из новейшей истории – Магницкий и Ходорковский. Тексты дублируются на русском языке .

Antonio Figueras

El museo es interesante! Tened cuidado con comprar recueros del muro de Berlín que te vengan como auténticos trozos del mismo (hay mucho listo con ese tema)

Christian H.

Für 12,50 bekommt man nicht sehr viel geboten, sehr viele lange Texte und eine unlogische Anordnung, fotografieren nicht gestattet, der Shop steht im Vordergrund. Ein Buch lesen bringt hier mehr! Read more

marcus H

Verrücktes Museum ! Viel zu lesen und zu sehen. Aber alles bisschen ranzig und bei heißem Wetter ist die Luft drinnen zum Schneiden !

Boris Monin

Beaucoup d'informations (parfois trop), et une muséographie confuse mais des documents, objets, maquettes valent le coup d'oeil .

Charles Lemieux

Vieux musée sur les gens qui se sont enfuit de l'Est, avec beaucoup d'informations mais pas organisée de façon toujours claire.

Roman

Если будете в этом музее не пожалейте 5€ на аудиогид !)))

Ruben Woudsma

Zonde van de tijd en geld. Mooi museum, maar relatief duur. Verder erg onoverzichtelijk en men loopt hier verdwaasd rond vanwege missende structuur.

Stefan Schluppeck

Für Familien ist es auch nicht günstiger : 2 Erwachsene und zweite Kinder für 31,50€ ist nicht gerade das was man hier erwartet.

Estrella Bermúdez Perera

Muy interesante los métodos para pasar el muro. La audioguia un poco rollo

Pavel Kh

Некоторые экспозиции совершенно не в тему музея !

Gaël Géranton de Bouillanne

* : Interessant pour découvrir les multiples moyens mis en peuvre pour passer le mur durant la guerre froide. Pour le reste, beaucoup trop de panneaux à lire et un prix d'entrée cher (12.5€).

Müzeyyen Akyüz

Alter Autos sind rictige schönes ...

Adriana Salcido

Excelente museo !!!

Marie Gracher

Teils wirklich interessante Exponate, leider viel zu groß (mehrere Etagen) und unübersichtlich. Ziemlich teuer (12,50€!), da gibt es bessere Alternativen am Checkpoint...

Chicha

Билеты стоят 12,50€ и нет аудио гида на русском

Great 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. - Raphael Langenscheidt
