1989 Germany

Four years ago I was in Berlin for a housing conference and had an opportunity to do a very quick tour around Berlin. It was also a bit challenging because of the early sunsets, but one of the many things I go to see was the art installation in the east part of the city that is now full or murals. It is amazing and was within walking distance of my hotel! Loved it.

Over the course of my travels I have seen pieces of the wall in other countries including Gdansk, and Portland, Maine. While most of it is gone, you can still buy pieces of it in various shapes and sizes.

A chunk of it has been sent to Delusional Duma Dotard Donnie at the WH. Now since it doesn’t read, it will never see it. But still, it is an amazing project.

As for me? Here are some of my favorite spots along the wall and some other places in Berlin. Happy 30th fall of the wall, let’s hope the future is as bright as it was 30 years ago.

The gallery has two sides, this side faces away from the street and as you can see, has a mix of graffiti and *art*.
You can get an idea of scale with this photo, still the back of the wall.
One of the most popular pieces of the wall, and unfortunately somewhat defaced.
Some parts of the wall do have fencing to prevent some defacing of the art.
A nice one, reminds me of my favorite Magritte painting.
A bit of a variety of murals around the door.
Even new construction has views of part of the old wall.
And the trabant near the Trabant museum!
