Oksana Kyrychok
★★★★★5 months agoThe German Historical Museum in Berlin was very interesting and well organized. I learned a lot about Germany’s history from different periods. The exhibitions were informative and engaging. I really enjoyed the visit and would recommend it to anyone interested in history.

★★★★★3 months agoAmazing history museum, they have good working hours and reduced rate for students at 3.50€. Unfortunately, audio guides were at an additional price but if you prefer not to take those, just reading also works since each exhibition comes in German and English. They have a great overview of the German history through various objects which make up permanent museum collection. From the Edo period Japanese Samurai to dresses worn by the Prussian royal family to ostrich eggs, all is interestingly presented there for general public!
