The Stasi Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a historical museum dedicated to the history and operations of the East German Ministry for State Security, commonly known as the Stasi. Housed in the former headquarters of the Stasi in the Lichtenberg district, the museum offers a deep dive into the extensive surveillance and espionage activities carried out by the secret police during the Cold War era. Visitors can explore original offices, including the preserved office of Stasi head Erich Mielke, and view a wide array of exhibits featuring surveillance equipment, documents, and personal stories of those who were monitored or persecuted.
