Located at Checkpoint Charlie right where American and Soviet tanks squared off in 1961, the exhibition “BlackBox Cold War” illuminates the division of Germany and Berlin. The free open-air gallery offers original Berlin Wall segments and informations about the historic sight. In the indoor exhibit contemporary history comes alive: 16 media stations, a movie theater as well as original artefacts illustrate what unites the Checkpoint Charlie tank confrontation, the building of the Berlin Wall and the Cuban missile crisis and take an eye-opening look at the global dimension of the East-West conflict. With more than 2 million visitors per year the BlackBox is one of the most-visited historic outside exhibitions in Germany.
