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...

It's like walking through a bad history book about the Berlin Wall, except all pages are scrambled. Don't go.
Irvin PadillaJanuary 8, 2015
Interesting place for all of us who still get amazed by the war consequences.. A bit expensive to my point of view..

Learn the history and the stories behind the Berlin Wall

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.

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

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).
Lisa BaileyApril 8, 2014
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.

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

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.
LinaOctober 17, 2021
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.
Daron YondemAugust 8, 2013
Near hostile staff! It's like they don't want any visitors in here.
Alix De GrezJune 6, 2017
No logic or chronology and too many information. The audio guide helps to sort these information out.

Impressive, but outdoor.
Heidi PunFebruary 8, 2015
Learned a lot, and it wasn't boring at all!
Pam BiesbroekOctober 24, 2012
Information overkill. Expensive compared to other museums.
Rick DoesburgSeptember 1, 2015
It's kind of a confusing layout but I learned a lot.

You won't miss it.

Abbie MolesworthOctober 13, 2018
Very touristy and gimmicky. Disappointed.

A lot of information.

Learn more about the Berlin Wall at this great museum. Displays also in English!

Absolute tourist trap
Günther MulderApril 16, 2011
It's a part of history in and of itself.
Agata WyszyńskaJuly 14, 2013
Too much text. Not very interesting. Similar to DDR museum, but DDR was more interesting.
Hubert FiguièreJanuary 11, 2013
Photography is not allowed.
Tim CeuppensJune 8, 2013
Chaotic. Overpriced. Overcrowded. Avoid at all costs.

Tourist trap!

Interessant & sehenswert. Sehr viel Geschichte, sehr informativ. Zusätzlich Infos über Religion & andere bedeutende geschichtliche Ereignisse neben der deutschen Geschichte. Zeit mitbringen!
Eldar AbusalimovFebruary 12, 2014
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 FiguerasFebruary 16, 2019
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)
Boris MoninApril 9, 2014
Beaucoup d'informations (parfois trop), et une muséographie confuse mais des documents, objets, maquettes valent le coup d'oeil.
Christian H.April 27, 2013
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

Verrücktes Museum! Viel zu lesen und zu sehen. Aber alles bisschen ranzig und bei heißem Wetter ist die Luft drinnen zum Schneiden!
Ruben WoudsmaSeptember 21, 2013
Zonde van de tijd en geld. Mooi museum, maar relatief duur. Verder erg onoverzichtelijk en men loopt hier verdwaasd rond vanwege missende structuur.
Charles LemieuxJune 8, 2019
Vieux musée sur les gens qui se sont enfuit de l'Est, avec beaucoup d'informations mais pas organisée de façon toujours claire.
RomanFebruary 24, 2017
Если будете в этом музее не пожалейте 5€ на аудиогид!)))
Estrella Bermúdez PereraJuly 21, 2012
Muy interesante los métodos para pasar el muro. La audioguia un poco rollo
Stefan SchluppeckFebruary 16, 2014
Für Familien ist es auch nicht günstiger: 2 Erwachsene und zweite Kinder für 31,50€ ist nicht gerade das was man hier erwartet.
Pavel KhMarch 15, 2016
Некоторые экспозиции совершенно не в тему музея!
Gaël Géranton de BouillanneNovember 13, 2012
* : 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 AkyüzJanuary 29, 2015
Alter Autos sind rictige schönes...
Adriana SalcidoJanuary 6, 2013
Excelente museo !!!
Marie GracherOctober 28, 2016
Teils wirklich interessante Exponate, leider viel zu groß (mehrere Etagen) und unübersichtlich. Ziemlich teuer (12,50€!), da gibt es bessere Alternativen am Checkpoint...
ChichaMay 9, 2012
Билеты стоят 12,50€ и нет аудио гида на русском
