Berlin

The East Side Gallery is a living monument to the power of art and the human spirit. Still, it is also subject to the ravages of time and weather. That's why the East Side Gallery e.V., an artists' initiative, was founded in 1996 to restore and preserve the works. In 2009, the entire gallery was restored by 87 artists, and 100 paintings was repainted.
