The Wall Museum and the East Side Gallery

An interesting museum with lots of eyewitness accounts and fascinating stories of what it was like to live in Berlin at the time of the wall. The museum badly needs a facelift, however. Many of the exhibits look dated, are grainy, faded by the sun or simply were not working. Worth the €9.99 online ticket entry fee but I’d hope to see improvements if I came back.

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.

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…

Small and nice museum. Really easy to go by and short information about the beginning and end of the Wall. The different rooms had sounds interfering with the room you are at, and creates some confusion. The temperature was super hot and uncomfortable.
