The Wall Museum

The Wall Museum presents a detailed collection of exhibits documenting the history of the Berlin Wall at Friedrichstrasse 43-45 in central Berlin.

The museum, established in 1963, witnessed the construction of the Berlin Wall and recorded numerous escape attempts from East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie.

The collection includes original artifacts, photographs, and documents that show how the Wall divided families and transformed daily life in Berlin from 1961 to 1989.

The museum operates daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with digital payment methods required for ticket purchases at the entrance or through the website.

The exhibition displays an authentic hot air balloon used in an actual escape from East Germany, representing one of many ingenious methods people devised for crossing.
