A must for museum freaks, this fairly new museum has well laid out displays ranging from Roman times up to 1994. You could easily while away four hours or more here. The displays are well lit, there is plenty of space and there is a great variety of stuff on view- Roman artefacts, early books, illuminated manuscripts, old deeds, charters and contracts, artwork. Most of the display boards are in English as well as German and there are a number of computer terminals which you can use to find out more, also with English options.The 20th century sections have old newsreel videos. Only 5 Euro admission.
Unter den Linden 2, at eastern end, nearest U-bahn Franzõsischestrasse, about 6 mins walk.
