Die Fluxus-Dokumentation "permanentFLUXUS" im atrium, regelmäßige Musikveranstaltungen und Kunstvermittlungsangebote leisten einen positiven Beitrag zur kulturellen Entwicklung der Region und bieten dem Besucher viel Vergnügen und spannende Einblicke in die so viel diskutierte Kunstform Fluxus. In der Dauerausstellung werden Werke aus Privatsammlungen gezeigt. Sie umfassen Korrespondenzen, Fotos, Bücher, Kataloge, Zeitschriften, Filme, Videos, Aktionsrelikte, Multiple, Objekte, Installationen und Kunstwerke. Schwerpunkt der Sammlung sind Arbeiten des Künstlers Wolf Vostell. Als zweiter ständiger Ausstellungskomplex werden Werke von Künstlern der Fluxus-Bewegung und aus dem nahen Umfeld gezeigt, welche einen Überblick über die Entwicklungen in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhundert bieten. Eine Präsentation von vier zeitgenössischen Künstlern rundet die Sammlung ab und ermöglicht einen Blick auf eine heutige Interpretation der Maxime "Kunst ist Leben, Leben ist Kunst".

You can do the museum without an audio guide I guess if you want to stand around and read endlessly or if you're already very familiar with this particular history. But the guides offer quick 1-3min explanations of select physical pieces. 3. If you really have time to kill, they have an additional exhibit on more current events on the floor leading to the bathrooms. 4. Chairs are all around for you to rest and you'll need it lol. 5. You need to exist threw the gift shop, of course. But you'll need to return the audio guides at the entrance so leaving and going back where you came from outside. Seems like an oversight that should be corrected.

The lines were sometimes long, and always slow...the East German guards searched the car on the way in for contraband they didn't want entering and then later that day when leaving passing mirrors underneath the car to make sure you weren't smuggling out a friend. The guards were always somber, stern and strict so it was always fun to try to get them to smile, typically without success. It's interesting now to see the area all opened up as it used to be a zig-zag maze of road blocks to keep the cars from moving too fast and busting through. The Galerie does a great job of showing what it was like back in the day!

This museum is considered to be within the boundaries of Berlin, but it is not located in an…read moreurbanized area. Rightly so, considering it is a closed airport, Gatow. It is well-inventoried with aircraft on display from both World Wars and most interestingly to me, the Cold War. Americans who are aircraft aficionados will love this place! Most of the aircraft are lined up wingtip-to-wingtip outside on the grass along the taxiways. Many, if not most of the aircraft have deteriorated from the effects of weather and sun. However, the lineup is amazing fodder for your camera and your mind, as so many of the aircraft on display have been seen by Americans only in pictures. And now, in front of you, are the real things, dozens and dozens of them, albeit a little weather-beaten. Perhaps the most compelling outside display is the American Lockheed F-104G, its landing gear extended and supported by pedestals at a 45 degree angle, aimed skyward, ready to be propelled by a RATO unit attached to the aft fuselage. Mounted on the centerline pylon is a (simulated) nuclear weapon. This presentation is without doubt authentic and very well-executed, the Starfighter's finish having been kept in good condition. It is a cogent reminder of how close the East and West were to a nuclear confrontation. Such is the immeasurable value of museums as this one. The outside displays are located across the tarmac from three massive hangars containing even more valuable aircraft and numerous multi-media/multi-language displays and stations. This clueless Yelper searched in vain for the American flag to switch on his native language. Well, duh, the English language is represented by the flag of England. The presentations were highly interesting, and of course, skewed toward aviation, European history and war. The three hangars correspond to the two World Wars and the Cold War. The interior walls are lined with cases filled with militaria, graphs, photos and far too many interesting subjects to list. One case was particularly memorable, showing the evolution of Luftwaffe uniforms over the years, including both officer and enlisted garb. The rare and/or valuable aircraft displayed within include the Komet rocket plane, an Me-262 (trainer version), bits and pieces of V-2 rockets and an entire V-1. The display of an immaculately prepared MiG-29 was breathtaking, being such a beautiful design. So many other aircraft and vehicles on display will command your attention, as well. This review will best be appreciated by aviation enthusiasts and historians, and it does not do justice to this sprawling, densely inventoried, well-organized museum. It is a must-see for those interested in the subjects presented. Plan on spending the entire day here, and perhaps two, if your itinerary permits. The gift shop is the only major disappointment. It is one level above nonexistent. Too bad, since it could be an important source of revenue. There is no charge for museum admission.

Throughout its use, thousands of victims have passed through this place was used from 1933 until 1989 for both the repressive Nazi and DDR regimes. From the outside, a casual passerby would assume this building to be just another building, nothing about it stands out to indicate it was once a prison. The prison itself focuses on 3 different periods of time: the Soviet secret police period ('45-'52), the Stasi period ('52-'89) and the Democracy movement ('89/'90). In this former prison, you are able to see how the people were brought in and interrogated (for hours, even days at a time) at the desk of a Stasi officer with a view of the street outside (freedom so close but unable to go out into a normal life). You hear personal stories of individuals brought in for reasons as simple as applying for visas to leave the DDR and their entire experience from the time they were brought in until after they left and recovered from their time in the prison. You are able to see the actual cells (some still set up as they were years ago) that prisoners lived in. What I find most interesting is that once the wall came down in 1989, those involved in the democracy movement went into the ironically called "Lindenhotel" to preserve the prison as it was in order to keep as many records of what occurred as possible. Although all information is only in German, tours can be arranged in different languages, depending on availability of tour guides.
