Definitely worth a visit if you are in Berlin and like history. The museum looks really small from the outside but the exhibition upstairs is really detailed and full of stuff. I felt that the intended layout to follow could have been better signposted as I think we ended up viewing upstairs back to front... which meant that the effort someone had gone to in setting up the exhibitions partly lost its effect.

This museum isnt as far out as I've read some people day. You can either take the s3 sbahn to karlshorst or you can take the ubahn to tierpark (u5) and then take the bus a few stops. It doesnt take long at all to get there from central Berlin.

The museum is free as well so no complaints at all. I think it is great that this place still exists and hasn't been pushed out the way. Yes it contains much propaganda but that is the point of it. It contains relics from the Soviet era and it gave me a chance to see posters and relics that I hadnt seen before in any other war museum (in or outside Berlin).

*Some stuff is mainly in German and Russian but a lot of items have a small English text...

I visited the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst today. What an amazing experience to visit the site where WWII ended. A short ride on the S-Bahn from Berlin Alexanderplatz and another short (but beautiful) walk to the museum.

The museum is free to enter. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They even have free lockers to store belongings.

The main floor is simply breathtaking. The very room from where Germany signed the surrender from the greatest war in history. The tables, the flags. The microphones. Everything is there. The detail explaining everything is there as well.

On the 2nd floor are amazing artifacts from this era. Very well done and explained.

Outside is old Soviet Military equipment from WWI. Having been to the Wannsee Conference house, and other sites, another house that played a major role in world history.

This is a Must visit for history lovers. A do not miss while in Berlin. I...
