German Historical Museum - Is it worth it?

German Historical Museum - Is it worth it?
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin. We started with the classic exhibits like chain mail. We looked at digital copies of old manuscripts. We saw portraits and the Behaim-Globus. We then moved to the exhibition on the 20th century, including the Weimar Republic and National Socialism. We ended with the VW Beetle and Trabi

Highlights: My son was initially uninterested in the portraits, but he enjoyed the exhibit with the old gas station, the moped, and the consumer goods from the Weimar Republic. We also found the exhibits about World War II and the post-war period interesting. The atmosphere in the café/restaurant was also nice ✨
