Unter den Linden 2, 10117 Berlin, Germany
A beautiful space. A somewhat spartan gift shop. Sadly, most of the museum exhibits are closed due to renovation. There were only three exhibits open -- Karl Marx, Richard Wagner, and Angela Merkel. Although these were informative and interesting, it was far less than what was expected. The cafe looks nice.
The permanent exposition is currently closed, but the two temporary ones are pretty nice with good explanation. I would suggest to take an audio-guide however to understand the museum's exposition more.
This museum is HUGE. You will need minimum 3 hours to see everything but not in detail. It starts from the very beginning, from the first settlers passing through the world war and ending with the contemporary ages. It is full of paintings, sculptures, antiquities such as dresses, pottery, tea sets, etc. It is actually very interesting but you will need time to see all.
They told me that the Germany History part is going to be closed for the next five years. Five years!! Be aware of that before going (there is clear information outside, but I found nothing related to that before going). I saw the temporary exposition of Marx and well, little information or novelty. I liked the building more than the exposition. With the German History part closed I think is not worth the visit even though it was pretty cheap.
Many interesting historic objects and art. But not well distributed and not very attractive. Too pragmatic.
