This led to the East Side Gallery project.<br\/>Permits were obtained and an art exhibition was planned. Through the embassies and diplomatic missions, artists from many parts of the world were invited to participate in the project. In the end, 118 artists from 21 countries took part and designed a section of the Berlin Hinterland wall according to their ideas. In September 1990, the now world-famous open-air art exhibition opened.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/east-side-gallery\/#faq-question-1607953598786","position":3,"url":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/east-side-gallery\/#faq-question-1607953598786","name":"What kind of pictures can you see in the East Side Gallery?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The artists created pictures with individual messages and comments on the section of the Wall.

Some of the pictures could be restored. With the help of special paint, attempts are now being made to prevent graffiti sprayers from \"defacing\" the works of art.<br\/>Some artists have since been back to Berlin and painted their works on the Wall for the second time. Some artists did not take part in the reconstruction, and the areas they painted then are now unpainted.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/east-side-gallery\/#faq-question-1607954486848","position":5,"url":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/east-side-gallery\/#faq-question-1607954486848","name":"Does a visit to the East Side Gallery cost anything?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No, the visit is possible free of charge.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/berlin-east-side-gallery-birgit-kinder-test-the-best--600x400.jpeg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/berlin-east-side-gallery-birgit-kinder-test-the-best--600x600.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Susanne Jungbluth","author_link":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/author\/susanne\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22299"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22299"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22305,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22299\/revisions\/22305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
