Find out how it felt to live in East Germany in this modern and well-presented exhibition. The museum is a good starting point if you only have a few minutes to sneak a quick peek inside an East German family’s living room, but you can spend hours diving further into the stories behind each exhibit by flicking through the documents on display or listening to contemporary witnesses’ accounts (English translations available). The museum opened in November 2013 and is housed inside a beautifully restored former brewery, make sure to take a stroll through the courtyards!
