A new private museum on the Berlin Wall opened its doors to the public on Saturday in the German capital to remind people of the decades of division between East and West Germany during the Cold War.
The ‘Wall Museum’ aims through its 13 sections to represent the lives of citizens, essentially through multimedia, on both sides of the wall from time of its construction in 1961 until its fall in 1989.
The contents of the museum have been designed with the consultations of two historians and archivists, Gerhard Ritter and Guido Knopp, as the latter is known in Germany for his TV reports about modern German history.
The Wall Museum has been established next to the ‘East Side Gallery’, one of the best destinations for tourists visiting the German capital.
