Guided tour of the temporary exhibition
The exhibition ‘Skateboarders and Rollerboarders Before and After the Fall of the Berlin Wall’ uses photographs and selected artefacts to showcase the skateboarding scene in Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It documents the evolution from a leisure activity to a professional sport and highlights that skateboarding is not just a sport, but a way of life in its own right.
