Stasi Museum

#bucketlistreboot Another place we visited was the Stasi museum. The Stasi, Ministerium für Staatsicherheit (German: “Ministry for State Security”), were secret police branch that were tasked with population surveillance and counterespionage. Their headquarters, now a museum, were so well concealed, it took us a good 30 min to find it although we had Google Maps with us on the phone. What can I say – they did their job. Guided tours are offered by the museum which narrate the experience. Per se, we believe the items in the museum speak for themselves and are things James Bond himself would envy. Anything from secret pen recorders to booby traps, they had it all. The museum describes some of the horrors average citizens went through and the state of terror this organisation created. #berlin #germany
