The main exhibition of German history in the armory is closed for some years, due to construction work in the armory. The museum's temporary exhibitions can still be seen in the Pei building. They are dedicated to formative historical events, eras and social developments.
There were only two floors with exhibits due to current renovations. But it was still informative and interesting enough with minimal material.
Although the expo was good, I am absolutely shocked by one of the guards' behavior and have to leave one star. He was aggressive, impolite, and mean. A total maniac. Other people from the personnel said it's not the first time people complained about him, so I don't understand what the museum is waiting for before firing him. Hope for every visitor not to cross his path.
The personnel is very nice and there was no queue.
Current exhibition “Roads not taken” was a disappointment for me, it is constructed in a very strange way, inconvenient to read and to move around. The idea of exploring different historical paths is captivating, but the way it is organised in this museum, with only dry facts presented:( Plus a weird printing..
€3,5 for a student.

While the main building, the Zeughaus (armoury) undergoes renovation, only the newer areas are visitable. However they are well worth it - the last 200yrs of German history is a great exhibition well set up and conceived and the current exhibition on songwriter Wolf Biermann is excellent.
First of all, if you want the full experience you won't be able due to some reparations they are doing now. According to them, it will be ready in 2024, so the only exposition available is downstairs.
This exposition contains some of the Cold War and 2nd World War documentation. Pretty interesting if you like this kind of subject.
At the end of the exposition there is a videogame, point and click type of game. You can also play it at home. Unfortunately there is not much to see here.

Beautiful museum to visit. And wonderful Architecture. 7 to 10 Euro tickets and you need to leave your jackets and bags. Cloakroom is free of charge and on lower ground floor. Toilet facilities on same level. It worth spending time. You can book tickets online so you don't need to wait on queue to purchase one?
