October 2015 NA RR - Berlin DDR

The DDR Museum is Berlin's interactive museum and one of the most-visited attractions in the German capital.

See, touch, feel and experience the actual conditions of a long-defunct system. Unique artefacts, futuristic technology and a prize-winning design transform a museum visit into a great journey back in time.
