Located in the former “no man’s land” of the Berlin Wall, the German Spy Museum delves into the secret history of espionage, from ancient code-makers to Cold War agents and modern-day cyber spies. The combination of authentic artefacts, multimedia storytelling and hands-on exhibits has made it one of Berlin’s top ten museums.
What can visitors experience inside?
You can test your nerve in a laser maze, crack encrypted messages, try out a lie detector and explore hundreds of original spy gadgets, from miniature cameras to hidden bugs and ciphers. Exciting interviews and interactive displays transform the world of secret agents into a full sensory adventure.
Who is the museum for?
The museum is suitable for everyone, from families and students to film buffs, tech buffs and history enthusiasts. Kids can compete in the maze, adults can uncover Cold War secrets, and curious minds of all ages will find something to intrigue them.
Where is the spy museum?
The museum is located on Potsdamer Platz, in the heart of Berlin – once part of the infamous “death strip”, a strictly guarded zone that separated East and West Berlin.
