The Berlin Wall "Art Gallery"

The Berlin Wall is one of the most significant pieces of German history. It is a constant reminder of the atrocities of the past, motivating people around the world to push for a better future. For this reason, the German people have made it their mission to keep the memory alive by scattering numerous memorials of the Berlin Wall around the city. For example, if you visit the East Side Gallery, you will find a mile-long stretch of the wall decorated with colorful graffiti and artwork. You can also view the official Berlin Wall Memorial.
