I was expecting a bit more. Only a collection of photos and articles. More

An absolute disappointment. There are hardly any personal objects shown. The exhibition is basically a montage from books and articles, a couple of photos ... Although Marx was born here, a few weeks later the family moved to another house in Trier.  There is a café, Raab close to the museum, a real hidden treasure from the golden times. More

There are no artifacts on-show, and the posters are only helping to visualise the environment of the time. Personallities of that magnitude are usually ideallized. Nevertheless, the scientific approach and the factual descriptions de-mystify... More

An audio is given free of charge, but if you manage try the languages German or English. I did use the Dutch version and 8 times out of 10 the message was given "No info in your language" when i dialed an info number... Seems there is a loophole for such, but that was only mentioned whe I finished my... More
