The DDR Museum in Berlin Mitte is an eye-opening look at everyday life behind the Iron Curtain. From watching TV in a Communist-era living room to revving a Trabant, this hands-on museum's exhibits present an exploration through former East Germany.
Founded in July 2006, the Museum houses a permanent exhibition: A Hands-on Experience of Everyday Life. This interesting and quirky display focuses on all aspects of the culture and daily life of the former East Germany's citizens, aiming to provide visitors with a full picture of the era. There are documentaries, a replica living room with working TV, and a kitchen where you can even sniff the spice rack!
The museum is still sourcing new exhibits, so if you have that elusive DDR toilet seat or telephone box, please do let them know
