Checkpoint Charlie
On the anniversary of when the Berlin Wall fell, a Mexican wall is given the thumbs-up.
It’s a strange world.
The museum is about Check Point Charlie, which existed as gate connecting East and West when the Berlin wall stood.
It’s filled with the difficulties of trying to break into the West from the East.
Making hidden compartments under car engines, and single seat gliders.
In a way, the handmade quality of things on display makes them feel all the more tragic.
The museum is definitely interesting but it’s also pretty crazy too.
