The museum is divided in to three main rooms; each filled with various artifacts. There are exhibits focusing on daily life, education, the arts, sport, propaganda in the media and the secret police. There are replicas of a grammar school, a grocery store and an interrogation room used by the StB (the Czechoslovakian secret police).
The best part is room where a video shows archive footage of life under the communist regime and the Velvet Revolution in 1989. It was amazing to watch the video of people risking everything and standing up to the police. 
Claudia’s parents had no interest in going to this museum. I guess they had their fill of communism living in East Germany.
