This tourist-geared private museum on the 3rd floor of a former warehouse offers an easily digestible multimedia chronicle of Germany's post-WWII history, with a focus on the construction and demise of the Berlin Wall. You can watch interviews with border guards, historic news reels and learn about the milestones that led to the wall's collapse in 1989.
More than 100 screens, films and projectors bring the events to life.
