If time and the schedule permit, I plan to travel to Leipzig to visit the Museum of Contemporary History. I visited this museum in 2001, and recently learned that it underwent a renovation in 2007. You can see information about this museum, as well as its permanent and temporary exhibits at:

The permanent exhibit chronicles the GDR history, cultural history and events from 1949 to 1989, and showcases an amazing variety of artifacts. The temporary exhibit in August is "Skandale in Deutschland nach 1945," which sounds very interesting.
The museum is free to get into, so the cost of the trip would be the train ticket. The specific day will be determined once we get there, but according to the temporary program, the Sunday of the second Weimar excursion is a good possibility.
