The Wall Museum and the East Side Gallery

It is totally a worth visiting stop once you are in Berlin. You can clearly observe all the history behind it. There are detailed explanations and headphone sets. Entrance is subject to fee. Don’t miss it. Recommended.

I'm only giving this museum 3 stars, because there are so many world class museums in Berlin. 1st, it may be small, but it's right next to Checkpoint Charlie, so you might as well go, 2nd, small though it may be, it is well structured and very informative. They also have a nice gift shop situated at the way out, where you can buy actual pieces of the wall. Solid 3 stars, but I'm grading on a curve.

Museum was okay, a little small but had some good bits. Man selling tickets was incredibly rude, shouted at me and demanded I pay before using the bathroom which he followed me into shouting. Really unprofessional and scary for a single female traveller.

It is an interesting museum, yet the staff's attitude is very unprofessional and unreliable. After we noticed a factual historical inaccuracy as one of the pamphlets mentions the Georgian (instead of the Armenian) earthquake in 1988, the staff annoyingly replied in line with: "we hear this comment every month; our visitors from Australia would never know the difference anyways; we are not a history museum, we have a different topic; it would cost us 100 eur to change it, it is easier not to". With all respect to the fact that earthquakes have no political borders and to possible victims in Georgia (where Wikipedia mentions no casualties), this rather looks like a simple geographical typo that they do not want to admit. The devastating Spitak earthquake killed between 25,000 and 50,000 people in Armenia, and such defiant negligence of the staff made us question the rest of the quality of this otherwise interesting museum.

I’m giving three stars but I’m generous. Actually there isn’t a museum like this in Berlin (to my poor knowledge), so the stars I’m giving should be an encouragement to improve it. The idea is very good but the setting and the place are not worth the amount they ask for. I was initially convinced that to get access to the East side gallery (the real wall) I had to reserve the tickets through the museum, but there is no connection within them. The East side is accessible without any ticket, just walk in the street…
