The greatest symbol of division of history
Construit en pleine Guerre froide, le Mur de Berlin incarne la division entre le capitalisme et le communisme, un affrontement idéologique ayant plongé le monde dans une menace nucléaire constante. À travers plus de 200 artefacts authentiques, cette exposition unique retrace son histoire et souligne l’importance de défendre les droits humains, la liberté et la démocratie.
