Well worth the visit.
The museum is located in the former headquarters of the East German secret police. Today, on three floors the exhibition includes surveillance and observation technology such as wires and hidden infra red beamers for photographs at night. The heart of the exhibition is the office of minister for state security of the GDR, General Erich Mielke. The entire second floor is in the situation of 1989 with lots of equipment and furniture of the 1960's, 70's and 80's.

An insight into the Stasi
A good museum that shows what life was like during the cold war and how the stasi used different techniques to gain control over the people in Germany. We rented an audio guide between 2 people and brought our own headphones which gave another layer of information. Overall, it was a lot of information and it took us a long time to work our way through the museum but we still found it fascinating

Good way to spend half a day
It’s a very interesting museum. While the “toys” they showed are old, the people being psychologically manipulated were far more damaging. With new technology, we can do everything the Stasi did and more. It is strange that the museum wanted extra money for the permission to take pictures. One had to ask to get the audio guide instead of the service being prominently displayed.
