Inauguré en 2006 sur les rives de la Spree, face au Berliner Dom, le DDR Museum retrace la vie quotidienne en République démocratique allemande à travers des installations immersives que l'on vous invite expressément à toucher. Sur 1 000 m², le parcours aborde l'école, le travail, les vacances, la consommation, l'idéologie, le Mur ou encore la Stasi. Parmi les pièces maîtresses figurent un simulateur de conduite à bord d'une Trabant P601 et la reconstitution intégrale d'un appartement meublé en grand ensemble (WBS 70). L'ensemble des textes d'exposition est proposé en allemand et en anglais.
