Lonely Planet review for Stasi – Die Ausstellung
They hid tiny cameras in watering cans and flowerpots, stole keys from school children to install listening devices in their homes and collected body-odour samples from suspects’ groins. This exhibit engagingly reveals the GDR’s Ministry for State Security (Stasi) as an all-pervasive power with an all-out zeal and twisted imagination when it came to controlling, manipulating and repressing its own people. The photographs and items on display speak volumes but to make better sense of it all, ask for the free English-language booklet at the reception desk.
