Berlin to Get a 'Freedom Exhibition' - Berlin's 'Freedom Exhibition' to Open in 2029, Honoring Resistance Against Communist Dictatorships
A significant historical exhibition, 'Freedom Exhibition', is set to open in Berlin, focusing on the resistance against communist dictatorships in the GDR and Eastern Europe. The exhibition, planned for 2029, will be curated by the state-owned Kulturprojekte Berlin company and will occupy a 4,000 square meter space, currently housing the 'Berlin Global' experience exhibition.
The exhibition will delve into the key countries and movements that opposed communist regimes, including Poland's Solidarity movement, Hungary's and Czechoslovakia's resistance, and the Baltic States' (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) fight for independence. It will also highlight positive moments in German history that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Budget planning for the exhibition is already underway, with funds allocated for 2026 and subsequent years. The House of Representatives is yet to finalize the funding decision. The conceptual development of the exhibition will commence in 2026, with an ideal opening date set for 2029. Additionally, the Berlin Humboldt Forum will host a complementary exhibition, 'Opposition and Resistance 1945 - 1990', focusing on the freedom history of Eastern Europe.
The 'Freedom Exhibition' promises to be a comprehensive exploration of resistance against communist dictatorships, offering a unique perspective on Eastern Europe's struggle for freedom. With its planned opening in 2029, it aims to educate and inspire, showcasing the resilience and courage of those who fought against oppression.
