Location

The museum is located in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg on the banks of the Spree River within an open-air visual arts expression known as the East Side Gallery. The roof of the building, a former mill warehouse, was used as a border watchtower during the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) era.
