OUR IDEA
35 YEARS AFTER LIVING IN A DIVIDED WORLD
For the first time ever, a large touring exhibition about the Berlin Wall will travel the world, showcasing an unparalleled collection of more than 500 original objects from more than 20 international museums and institutions.
In collaboration with the Stiftung Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall Foundation), Musealia has finally revealed its highly anticipated new exhibition “The Berlin Wall. Living in a Divided World” after years of preparation. The exhibition will explore the escalation of this conflict and how the people of Berlin came to take sides, fight, escape, adjust, and ultimately overcome the Cold War divisions.
Featuring a wide collection of more than 500 original objects such as 20 meters of the actual Wall, along with materials depicting its evolution over time and everyday items that Berlin citizens ingeniously repurposed for smuggling, provision of basic goods, and communication between civilians on both sides. The exhibition will also present objects related to its fall in the late 80s and the international context of the Cold War, with the involvement of over 20 museums and international institutions.
