I love most the style they presented and great to get some new inspiration. It is free to visit and they usually change each exhibition between 1-3 months period of time. So visitors can have more time for the exhibition they interested at. They also paint the wall of the building outside time to time, very cool and camera ready.

East Side Gallery is a really a very long wall. There are a lot of artists that have their work showing on this wall. Just like beauty in in the eye of the beholder, so is art. Some of the work along this wall is very good. Others, not so much. All this being said, it is an interesting concept. And, it is something that you should see if you are in Berlin. Just don't get your hopes up to experience something truly revolutionary or cutting edge. Remember, it's just a wall with a bunch of paintings on it.

Martina was our tour guide for Tour M and she was engaging, knowledgeable, friendly and fun! She made the tour interesting and was happy to answer any and all questions. They offer a bunch of different tours which cover different topics/aspects "Underground Berlin". We chose Tour M because it focused on the history of the Berlin Wall which we were interested in knowing more about, but there are other tours available that focus on other aspects, such as bunkers, WWII, etc. Be sure to read through what's available before you schedule your tour to ensure that you're signed up for the topic that interests you most. My husband and I had very little knowledge of the Berlin Wall and the history behind it prior to this tour. We left feeling incredibly informed yet hunger for more knowledge! Martina recommended a few movies and documentaries to watch for more information about the wall and we fully intend to watch them when we get back home. Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable experience! Next time we're in Berlin, we'll come back to experience a different tour with you.

I was wearing shorts and a small long sleeve which really didn't make me feel comfortable because this place is seriously seriously cold. I asked the guide if it gets any hotter in the summer time and he says it stays this cool. So be warned bring a jacket when you come here because the whole tour is literally under the streets of Berlin! The guide we got was not from Germany but from another country and spoke English quite well. The place is filled with many cool things to see and also the glow in the dark room is pretty awesome. I didn't even know they invented that kind of thng so long ago! Very factual tour and with many photos and items that are from that time period. Yes we aren't allowed to take pictures soo they can keep all these items for the next generation! I'm glad I actually went to this place and got to listen to this tour. It is a little bit long but if you have time check this place out, I really loved it and you probably will if you want to see what would happen if the bunkers.

This is, in my experience, one of the finest museums I've visited. Allocating a full day, with a…read morebreak for lunch/Mittagessen, is reasonable and advisable. Exhibit design is as good as the Metropolitan in NYC or the V&A in London. These designs convey information in a way that uses a museum experience in a way that distinguishes this form of knowledge transfer from simple reading, while avoiding being pedantic. The building is an architectural experience unto itself. BONUS free admission TIP We ate lunch at Umami Mitte, Friedrichstraße 30, 10969, https://umami-restaurants.de/, a few minutes away from the museum. It is very good to excellent, with pleasant outdoor tables, in appropriate weather.

If you choose to ignore, you will continue to be ignorant. In these trying times in America and throughout the world it is important to learn from history and be aware so it doesn't repeat itself. While in Berlin we went to this museum to learn more about the Jewish diaspora in Germany. My knowledge of the Jewish experience is from the United States perspective and for me it was important to hear, read, and see the story from a country that played a significant part in the history of the Jewish people. The museum traces the history of the cultural, social, political, and influence of the Jewish people in Germany and throughout the world. It is not only a museum, it is an art gallery, and the architecture of the building is somewhat unassuming from the outside. Through photographs, religious objects, newspapers, letters, and artwork it is an immersive space that appeals to your humanity. From their progression throughout history to the persecution in the holocaust this museum is a powerful testament to the resilience of the Jewish people. With the the atrocities that they endured in Germany it is a strong reminder that we must be empathetic allies. My wife and I really appreciated this museum and feel like many should visit cultural museums wherever they may be.

Inside, the lower atrium contains the larger contemporary installations such as a to scale blow-up tank and the frame of a house's plumbing system (more exciting than it sounds - I promise). There's are a few rooms off the main hall for mainly audio and visual installations, and the gallery upstairs traces some of the strands that have led to the development of modern art. Overall, the lighting and whitewash provide the artists with a good neutral canvas. Thankfully, the art, whilst modern, is not too abstract to be enjoyed by armchair enthusiasts - although I'm not sure how often the exhibitions last. There are the obligatory cafe and shop too for when you are all cultured out.

I am a fan of the DADA art movement and coming here was amazing. My favorite lady DADAist Hannah Höch was amongst some of my favorite dadaist and seeing her work in person and her DADA dolls that I have only seen in books was amazing. The Prussian Angel was also a highlight for me. There is a permanent collection on the art movement happing in Berlin in the 1800 - 1980.. The other rooms of the gallery feature some amazing artist and installations. This place is amazing..

Up until last week, I wasn't even aware that Kreuzberg had a museum. But while walking from my…read moredentist back to my bike, I passed by and was intrigued. In fact, I almost walked in right then, but thought better of it and went home to work. So when it was a lazy and somewhat cold Sunday afternoon, and my fellow and I were thinking of something to do that involved leaving the house but not being too cold, I suggested the museum, which, lucky for us, is open on Sundays. And off we went. The museum is actually the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum, so there's a little bit from both sides of the river. On the mezzanine, there is a room with old printing presses and types which you can explore. Then the first floor is a permanent exhibition about the city. It mostly covers Kreuzberg, showing the destruction of the area after the war, and detailing the history of the NKZ. There are models of the streets and the buildings, with interactive things along the way, such as drawers you can pull out, audio clips you can listen to, and more. The rest of the museum is made up of changing exhibitions. For example, floors two and three focused on six different spots in the district, discussing their histories from past to present. There are also places where you can write down or contribute your own ideas or experiences pertaining to the places, which is pretty cool. One more floor up and there's a floor map of the area. Hand over your ID for an iPod loaded with images and sound clips that take you on themed tours of the area. Finally, the other temporary exhibit was photos of street art, which were posted throughout the stairwells on the walls. All in all, we probably spent between an hour and two hours exploring the museum. It is free, educational, and interesting, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants more of an in-depth look at the area.
