Berlin Wall Art Gallery
The Berlin Wall divided Berlin from the 1961 to 1989, separating the communist East and the democratic West. Today, with the unification of Germany, parts of the Berlin Wall remain and is a popular tourist attraction, mainly due to its arts graffiti.
Over 30 years, the west side of the wall were painted with artworks with most of them remained anonymous. We visited the East Side Gallery that is over a kilometre long and more than 100 paintings. Most of them were restored recently by artists from all over the world.
Here are some of the photos that we took.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, is it?
