Is DDR Museum worth it solo?

DependsSolo

Solo, it depends on the day.

It's interactive and fun — sit in a Trabant, open cupboards, peek into a re-created GDR flat — and great for getting kids and reluctant museum-goers engaged with history. The catch: it's small, gets packed and elbow-to-elbow, and serious history buffs find it light and a touch gimmicky for the price.
