What has the Palace of the Republic got to do with Revolution, Free Space, Entertainment or Fashion?
The Palace of the Republic, where the Humboldt Forum is today, was the seat of the Volkskammer (People’s Chamber), cultural venue but also a place of exclusion. The tour demonstrates aspects of its history in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition: from the legendary ceiling lights to the backstage pass belonging to DJ Jimmy X for the “Youth in the Palace” event in January 1989, through to a protest sash from the Peaceful Revolution in November 1989.
