Lonely Planet review for Deutsches Historisches Museum

If you're wondering what the Germans have been up to for the past 2000 years, pop into the excellent Deutsches Historisches Museum. A startling highlight is the big globe that originally stood in the Nazi Foreign Office with bullet holes where Germany should be. In the courtyard, Andreas Schlüter's baroque mask sculptures of dying soldiers make a strong case against war. High-calibre temporary exhibits take up a strikingly geometrical annexe, called IM Pei Bau, named for the architect that designed it.

    Good place to start if you don't know German history

    magnoliafork recommends this,

    I found this museum very interesting. It had a lot of old artifacts and columns with text on them helped guide you through the changes in Germany over centuries. It seemed to be very well put together. I never knew how much I didn't know about Germany!

    Also, as someone who uses a wheelchair, I found it very easy to get around the museum. In fact, I think it is the most accessible museum I've visited in Europe. I highly recommend it.
