DDR Museum

The DDR Museum explores over 40 years of daily life in the former East Germany, when it was separated from West Germany by the Berlin Wall. Nostalgia reigns at this museum, where former DDR residents have donated their personal items from that period, including authentic clothing, radios and photographs which make up the museum's collection. The museum reconstitutes this entire era of German history, and shares the resident’s stories of trying to pass undetected from one side of Berlin to the other. The visit gives pride of place to interactivity; make sure to climb aboard the Trabant driving simulator.
