Berlin to Get a 'Freedom Exhibition' - Berlin's Humboldt Forum to Host 'Freedom Exhibition' on Eastern Europe's Role in Fall of the Wall
Berlin's Humboldt Forum is set to host a significant exhibition, 'Freedom Exhibition', focusing on Eastern Europe's role in the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition, spanning 4,000 square meters, will delve into resistance against communist dictatorship in the GDR and beyond. It will replace the current 'Berlin Global' experience exhibition.
The exhibition, scheduled to open in 2029, will highlight key moments and figures from Eastern Europe's struggle against communism. Countries like Poland, with its Solidarność movement, and Czechoslovakia, with events like Prague 68, will feature prominently. Curating work is set to begin in 2026.
CDU faction chairman Dirk Stettner has assured that necessary funds will be available. The House of Representatives is expected to make a final decision on funding soon. Kulturprojekte Berlin will oversee the conceptual development of the exhibition.
The 'Freedom Exhibition' promises to provide a comprehensive perspective on the fall of the Berlin Wall, shining a light on Eastern Europe's crucial role in the process. Its opening in 2029 will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Wall, offering a timely reflection on the events that led to Germany's reunification.
