DDR Museum
Interactive museum of everyday life in East Germany on the Spree riverbank, where you can sit in a Trabant and open the drawers of an East German apartment.
The DDR Museum presents everyday life in the German Democratic Republic through hands-on exhibits. You can sit in a Trabant and simulate driving, visit a reconstructed East German prefabricated apartment, and open drawers and wardrobes to learn about schools, vacations, fashion and food of the era. The other half of the museum covers Stasi surveillance and the Berlin Wall. Exhibits can be touched, which makes it good for families. Tickets cost about €13.50, and online booking is slightly cheaper. It sits on the riverbank opposite Berlin Cathedral, a 5-minute walk from S-Bahn Hackescher Markt.
