35 years ago, on September 28, 1990, the world's longest open-air gallery was created in Berlin. 118 artists painted their pictures on the Berlin Wall with messages for a life of freedom and peace.

To celebrate this anniversary, we are offering a special program. 
Some of the events are available in English. 
Here you can find the German program.
