TOGETHER FOR PEACE & UNDERSTANDING
A WARM WELCOME TO THE ISLAND!

For 200 years, Berlin’s Museum Island has been a ‘sanctuary for art and science’ – a place of freedom, participation and, ultimately, democracy. This year’s UNESCO World Heritage Day is themed ‘Together for Peace and Understanding’. What does this mean for art and culture? The Democracy Day, held as part of the island’s major festival, aims to provide answers to these questions.
