Talk by Mike Grundy

This talk will look at how the Berlin of today reveals its turbulent history, in both the architecture of the city and the art displayed all over the metro system.

Follow a journey of discovery through the city, telling its stories through the 20th century. The unification of Germany, giving rise to the emergence of a new European super-power, which then sought to dominate the Continent and beyond through two cataclysmic World Wars. These traumas were followed by the Cold War, where a divided Berlin found itself in the front-line of the Cold War for a further 45 years to 1989.
