About this experience
As you walk the streets of Berlin, it's hard to imagine that before 1990 the city was split not only ideologically, but literally. The Wall Museum looks at the story of division from both sides of the wall, using snippets of film, photography, and news to tell the most complete story of the Berlin Wall. The museum also features interviews with the senior statesman who handled foreign policy, and with guards who were forced to shoot at their fellow citizens during their attempts to flee.
