East Side Gallery

The East Side Gallery is a nearly mile-long section of the Berlin Wall that was painted by muralists in 1990 and is intended as a memorial for freedom.  The murals have been covered with graffiti and though some restoration work has been done it seems like a losing battle.  It is truly sad to see how the art has been disrespected.  Still, walking along this stretch of wall is quite interesting and moving.  Here are some favorite pieces:
