Art and Culture in Berlin
"Although many visitors think that the museum at Checkpoint Charlie is the official Berlin Wall Museum, it’s not; the real, state-run one can be found in Prenzlauer Berg along a former stretch of the Wall (0.62 miles) that still stands along Bernauer Strasse and is covered in street art. It takes a much more neutral and academic look at Germany’s division, and it includes an outdoor exhibition that focuses on key events via large scale photos, texts and audio installations, and a replica of a watchtower and the so-called “death strip.” It also profiles the history of the street and the escape tunnels, as well as other major events that took place here. A separate building also hosts a permanent exhibition on life under the GDR, as well as protest culture and a look at the events leading up to the toppling of the structure and regime." - MATADOR_NETWORK
