What a fantastic museum! Perhaps not a good place to visit when you have young children as this a museum that you visit to read, reflect and learn. In a time when there's so much propoganda around, it felt that this was a museum to take a more balanced look at the other side of the story, a side that's so hard to get nowadays, unless you look hard. It felt quite humbling to see how so many politicians, especially now (2019) misappropriate Marx's thoughts for their own purposes. I feel much wiser as a result of my visit, with a view there is much more to learn about modern politics on both sides of the fence. There aren't many museums that can inspire such thinking, but this is one of them.

Karl Marx Haus is the home of Karl Marx. It is now a museum and is open for public visits by paying an entrance ticket. But during a pandemic, you must adhere to health protocols, such as wearing a mask and keeping your distance. The museum is clean and tidy, telling a clear story from the life journey of Karl Marx in Trier, and many European countries. Books and correspondence of Karl Marx with his colleagues. Karl Marx did change world civilization. Nice to visit this museum and also Trier city, old town with many historical relics.

ABSURD. Who would imagine that in 2017, celebrating Russian Revolution 100 years, Karl Marx House would be closed? Unbeliavable, but it was. Congrats to the museum directors who needs SEVEN MONTHS to change the exposition and therefore close the museum... (which seems to be small, why 7 months?) I came to Trier only to visit it. I can't express my disappointment. Info about the closure was available in their website only in German because everybody speaks German, right? I just found info in English when I arrived to the museum.

Interesting but questionably executed. The designer went crazy and got hysterically creative, not minding the audience. An impractical setup, putting it mildly - form over substance. The contents actually got victimized by design. Silly photo compilations with limited explanation and less than impressive texts. Quite a loss. Also, the political perspective on Marx as presented is less than balanced. All that said, it was well worth 45 mins or so. Though it is quite a missed opportunity, this place.

Trier is the birthplace of Karl Marx, the German philosopher, economist and socialist revolutionary. A few meters from the city centre is the baroque house where he was born. Today, the property is owned by SDP ( Socialist Democratic Party). It is converted into a museum that showcases the important works of Karl Marx and the influence they had on society. The displays are both in German and English. There is an adjoining garden too. No waiting time. Ticket can be bought at the entrance.

It is an ok place if you consider that Marx stayed here from birth till 1 year old... They try a bit too much to make a museum with nothing really. One chair in which maybe.. Marx died 130 years ago and has been restored couple of times in the past. Also few wall paintings and audiovisual elements to make a museum. Worth to visit to learn about Marx and his life on high level. Tip: the traffic light opposite the museum has a mini Marx on it...😊
