Today we went to visit the Story of Berlin museum.  It is a multimedia museum with over 20 themed room that let you experience 800 years of Berlin's development.  It's almost as if you were there at the time experiencing it.  An excellent museum.  As part of that visit we also visited a nuclear bomb shelter from the Cold War, situated right below the museum.  It was built in the seventies allowing shelter for 2 weeks for 3600 people on a first come first served basis.  It was quite creepy down there. Definately not a place where I would want to experience 2 weeks of living.  Why 2 weeks?  That's what they used to believe was safe time away from a nuclear bomb.  They thought it was safe to back to the surface after that, which is now known to be nonsence.
