    A fascinating museum with an abundance of artifacts charting the history of modern Germany from division to unity. However, sadly, the permanent exhibition is sorely let down by a chronic lack of English translations.

    Wow. This is the museum to see in Leipzig. Fascinating. Free. Those who don't speak German will have a bit more trouble, but there are some English translations here and there. I spent 3 hours here and certainly skipped parts. Very well presented. Very fair. And did I mention free?!!!!

    A must for anyone wanting to learn more about the roots of modern Germany. It covers occupation of Germany after WWII, the Cold War that followed, how this gave way to reunifucation and how Germany reflects reflects this today. Some English throughout the exhibition which is always nice. Very thoughtful exhibits, lots of things to see, hear, read and enjoy. Pop culture buffs will love the nostalgia of the 70s & 80s lovingly reproduced through everyday items. Tell the staff how much you enjoyed it!
