Great little gem! Worth a visit.. - What a great little museum! Learned so much more about the history and politics behind the Berlin divide. The information is shared using videos and media clips along with information boards. To get the most of the visit you MUST take the time to read and watch. We saw people dashing room to room who didn't stop to read anything! All in all we spent 1½ hours here, and it was time very well spent. Highly recommend!

Worth seeking out, very interesting and well thought through museum. - Great museum which is inside the “Pirates” building with no outside signage. Very effective walk through the history of the wall and East Germany. Nicely done and much better than the DDR museum. One of the better attractions.

Recommended - Many listening stations, unfortunately some did not work. The films were very informative. Good thing the museum is right next door to the East Side Gallery.

It was OK - It was pretty informative. I liked that it was self guided. But it was very warm throughout the museum which made it not so pleasant a visit.

The Wall - It is a small self guided museum that is very informative and educational. The museum is created in a way to immerse yourself in this history. It was a great way to start the view of the Berlin Wall and then walk to Check Point Charlie.

Worth a visit, very informative - Lovely staff and very informative, I’m glad I went and it is well worth a visit it just wasn’t very “wow”. The museum was initially a little bit confusing to locate, however, it is sharing a building with a pirate themed venue so don’t be put off if you see pirate themed signage! There were two flights of stairs up to the museum but once inside it was all one level. The information videos and text were all written/spoken in both German and English. There were screens with video clips as well as some rooms with videos being projected. There was a lot to read and listen to, all very poignant and interesting, but I’m grateful I went when it was quiet as if it was busy this could get difficult. Some screens/parts of projections were out of order when I visited with signs saying they would be fixed soon. This didn’t affect the experience just worth noting. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, there were toilet facilities and a small gift shop at the end. Definitely worth a visit, and do-able in an hour or less.

Kicked out so staff could close early - Visited recently. It was late in the day but we were told we would have 50 minutes in the museum. Staff however proceeded to shut down the museum with 25 minutes to closing time and we were abruptly chased out the doors 15-20 minutes before they were due to close. Staff had already cashed up the till so we were unable to purchase anything. Disappointed in the staff, you shouldn't have taken our money and not given us the time we were due. It is bad service and a real shame as the museum was of interest.

Tourist trap - A tourist staircase, doesn't mean much. A collection of projectors and screens that show images, which you can also easily find on the internet. Schoer, even 1/10 screens do not work. Expensive relative to what you get for it

Poor - Rude and unhelpful man serving in this small museum at the top of a number of flights of stairs. Not disability friendly. Would not recommend because of the man’s awful attitude.
