The Cold War might seem like an impossibly different time to most young people today, but it is difficult to truly explain the gravity and importance of that tumultuous time. The exhibition at Checkpoint Charlie discusses the state of the world during the Cold War, explaining the global links between the Berlin Wall, the Korean War and the Cuban missile crisis. Along the street a free gallery of photos and texts highlights the main events that took place here, shining a light on one of history’s most tense periods.
