DDR Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:30:22

This interactive museum does an entertaining job at pulling back the iron curtain on an extinct society. You'll learn how, under socialism, kids were put through collective potty training, engineers earned little more than farmers, and everyone, it seems, went on nudist holidays. A highlight is a simulated ride in a Trabi.

The more sinister sides of daily life are also addressed, including the chronic supply shortages and surveillance by the Stasi (secret police).
