The 5 Best Specialty Museums in Lichtenberg (Borough), Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

A total of 111 kilometres of records on archival shelves, around 41 million index cards, over 1.8 million photographs and about 30,000 film and audio documents make up the Stasi Records Archive today. The exhibition “Access to Secrecy” introduces the visitor to the type of information the East German secret police Stasi collected and how they stored it in these records and the purpose they serve today.

The former headquarters of the East German secret police. Today, the exhibition includes surveillance and observation technology such as wires and hidden infra red beamers for photographs at night.

Do you trust your friends? Well you should, but seeing how the Stasi worked you may think twice. It is definitely worth visiting the Stasi Museum and get an insight into how secret services (or a particular secret service) work. The size, the methods, the thoroughness of the Stasi is quite overwhelming. There is a lot of reading to do at the museum but it's worth the time. Remember also to visit the archive (the corner entrance) to see files and machines used.

This was my favourite museum in Berlin. I love WWII history and this addressed what is often neglected in Western history classes - the Eastern Front, which really was the main one in terms of battles and lives lost. The museum is a solid 20-25 minute walk from the metro, so heads-up on that. But sooo worth it. Less biased than other museums, I find. If in Berlin again, I would return, I liked it so much. Also not at all crowded (probably since it's not in the city centre). I got the audioguide, and do recommend that to augment the experience.
