The Berlin Wall: A World Divided
The exhibition explores the profound impact of the Cold War on Berlin, a city divided for more than three decades. Alongside an original 10-meter segment of the Berlin Wall, visitors will discover more than 200 artifacts from 40 international institutions. These objects offer a vivid portray of daily life in East and West Germany while also bearing witness to global tensions and the survival techniques of Berliners during this tumultuous period.
Right from the entrance, six original fragments of the Berlin Wall, spanning nearly 10 meters, draw visitors into the heart of a complex history. Through powerful artifacts and moving personal testimonies, the exhibition delves into the human and social impacts of this division. It reveals the daily struggles of Berliners living in a divided city and highlights the acts of courage and resilience that defined this era.
Beyond the artefacts, The Berlin Wall. A World Divided encourages visitors to reflect on the universal values of freedom, democracy, and coexistence. Through four thematic sections, the exhibition explores the global repercussions of Berlin's division, leading up to its reunification and the end of the Cold War.
