In Your Pocket travel writer Andrew Quested mingles with the tourists at Checkpoint Charlie. He recommends a visit of the Wall Museum (Haus am Checkpoint Charlie). A homespun Great Escape museum of false trunks, tools, videos and stills of tunnel-digging - and a submarine - attest to necessity and desire being the mother of invention. Visit this museum for dramatic stories of separated lovers, freedom-seeking families, and fed-up senior citizens in the GDR who eventually breached the Wall. A worthwhile stop, though unfortunately, the poor translations and outdated texts do little to illuminate the events leading up to the Wall's construction. The museum also has art interpreting the concrete division of the city, an exhibit on human rights movements, and film screenings.
