Berlin Wall Segments Marker

This seems to be one of those ignored and not seen peciecs of history and art. These are actual segments of the famous Berlin Wall that have original art and new art added to them. Representing the division of East and West at the time, those who know the history of the wall can only imagine how it once decided a nation. The area does need better signs or markers as we would have missed this if not for a park docent who was by the lamp art exhibit.

Well known historical artifacts in an unlikely location - across the street from MoCA on Wilshire. Largest collection of Berlin Wall segments outside of Berlin. Just like the latter, there is political art - on both sides. Free to visit, outside just off the sidewalk on the south side of Wilshire.

Very wierd to look at something that was a part of a symbol of such great oppression. The paintings on it are beyond weird though. You can probably guess which side was facing the road without even looking at the background.

The wall segments standing on the sidewalk.

Such a hidden gem! With millions of people visiting LACMA every year and even more people taking photos with Urban Light right across the street, this large Berlin Wall segment seems left largely unnoticed. Anyway, the lack of attention is probably a good thing for such a precious piece. Absolutely enjoy the political and historical art on these segments. Oh, don't miss checking out the backside too!

Not sure who decided this belonged in LA 😂 but still really cool to see.

This is the second time in my life I’ve just stumbled upon random parts of the Berlin Wall, first in Singapore and now in LA. This segment is great, and clearly respected here - as it’s not tagged / defaced in any way, which is surprising in LA! If you’re visiting the Museum / Tar Pits over the road, it’s worth stopping by to take a look

As a Berliner I really enjoy seeing these very historical sections and I hope that it sparks interest in the history of Germany and the Cold War among locals.
