Lonely Planet review for Haus der Geschichte
If you want to catch a glimpse of daily life beyond the Iron Curtain, pop by the Haus der Geschichte. The ground floor is devoted to temporary exhibitions, while the two upper levels take you through recreated GDR-era living rooms, children's rooms and kitchens alongside such environs as a pub, a store, a kindergarten and other public spaces. There's something oddly endearing about the toys, clunky early consumer items, and the tins and jars that would have been sheer gold for the son recreating the good ol' East in the movie Good Bye, Lenin!
