This past weekend I ventured on over to what used to be East Berlin to check out the East Side Gallery. This "gallery" is an international memorial, created to commemorate freedom at the Berlin Wall. The gallery "is a 1.3km-long section of the wall near the center of Berlin. Approximately 106 paintings by artists from all over the world cover this memorial for freedom and make it the largest open air gallery in the world, (Eastsidegallery.com)."
It was pretty awesome to see the Wall, something that for the longest time represented division and boundaries and rules, covered in artistic works expressing freedom and love and independence! It was great! There were just so many different paintings by so many different artists from all over the world! It was really interesting seeing everyone's different interpretations on the memorial and what they wanted to add to it. It's definitely one of those must see places in Berlin!!
