Wall Museum - Checkpoint Charlie

Phenomenal. HUGE museum. First floor very small but the second level is absolutely massive. It would take you 12 hours to read everything. Amazing museum. It honestly has so many genuine artifacts in it it’s astonishing. Don’t forget to take your antidepressants before going though! After 2 hours and reading all of the stories, I felt my body getting heavier, starting to become filled with grief. I couldn’t take anymore for one day. The history of Berlin is filled with such brutality and this museum only covers the Soviet rein during the era of the Berlin Wall. We’re not even talking about the Nazi rein before it. The human race is despicable. But I suppose museums like this are important to ensure good people remember so that they resist such things happening again.

A great museum. Way bigger than expected, and almost TOO much information, by brain was boggled. But extremely good and moving, very very interesting. 4 * because despite being good the entry price would be better slightly cheaper, it’s a bit much for what you get.

Absolutely massive museum. You could definitely spend a whole day here. It's filled to the brim with stuff, and its so big that I got lost multiple times.

I visited with my 11 year old son. I visited previously in 1998 and remembered loving reading and seeing the stories about escaping the east but it has changed so much. There is information overload. I couldn't cope let alone my dyslexic 11 year old. This museum needs an overhaul to bring it into the 2020's - sadly I would recommend and would suggest the DDR museum instead.

A fantastic historical museum that documents the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall along with communism in Germany and other countries, detailed activities and accounts of living under the threat of the Stasi secret police service and how people attempted (some succeed) to escape the East, the museum is surprisingly large and is worth the money

I really enjoyed this small museum. I grew up in the 60's, and 70's and I used to read books about the wall in Berlin but never got to see it. You go to Berlin now and it's really as if it never existed. This museum really takes you through the whole history of the wall in great detail. I couldn't find anything like it in Berlin. I really recommend it if you are interested in the history of the wall.

excellent history, multilingual text. much to read and see, even after 2 hours there was still displays on Ukraine and Korea to experience. it was also the weekend of 35 years of the wall coming down, with extra temporary exhibitions outside.

Checkpoint Charlie – one of the most iconic and symbolic places of the Cold War era. Standing here makes history feel real. A must-see for anyone visiting Berlin. 🍃
