The Mauermuseum - Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, also known as the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, has been in its current location since 1963, just 2 years after the Berlin Wall was built. Its collection grew along with the wall, and many of the exhibits were gifts to the museum’s founders from friends on both sides of the wall, including those who made the dangerous decision to escape East Berlin. This unique museum has its own character which might not appeal to all guests, but a patient and interested visitor will find a lot to enjoy and will learn plenty about the wall, Berlin, and other struggles for freedom around the world.
