The German Historical Museum in the Baroque Zeughaus presents 2,000 years of German and European history through an exceptional permanent collection of artifacts, art, and documents. The I.M. Pei glass spiral annex adds a striking modern counterpoint to the old arsenal building. It's thorough without being dry, and the WWII and division-era sections are handled with real nuance. Caveat: the full permanent exhibition is vast — easily four-plus hours; pick your eras wisely.
