Take a look »behind the wall« and find out for yourself. All our exhibits are waiting to be touched, used and experienced – start the Trabi, try on the clothes and reach inside the drawers and cupboards. This companion volume to the exhibition introduces readers to life as lived under German Socialism – 66 chapters telling a scintillating yet balanced story recreated by our inhouse experts.
