The world’s first anti-war museum was founded in Berlin in 1925 by pacifist, actor, and writer Ernst Friedrich and is celebrating its 100th anniversary. After being closed by the Nazis in 1933, the Anti-Kriegs-Museum reopened in 1982. Ernst Friedrich’s grandson Tommy Spree and a dedicated group of volunteers have been looking after visitors and the museum’s affairs ever since. Today, it is recognized as a non-profit organization and is largely financed by donations.
Frank Geßner collaborated with students, doctoral candidates in science and art, colleagues, and alumni from the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF & GUESTS: Beyond the classic white cube, an associative “thought exhibition” is staged in the tradition of the universal Wunderkammer on the topic of war and peace.
The multimedia works of current students originate from various departments at the Film University, as well as from the fields of Theory and Practice of Visual Arts, Figurative Sculpture/Plastic Arts, and the excursions AFTER WORK DRAWING: WAR AGAINST WAR!
ANTI-KRIEGS-MUSEUM: PEACE GALLERY, November 9, 2025 – February 12, 2026, Monday – Sunday, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Brüsseler Str. 21, D-13353 Berlin-Wedding.

Peace Gallery
So far, the Peace Gallery has welcomed many international artists who have exhibited their sculptures, photos and paintings on numerous exciting topics.
The cooperation with the “Ghandi Information Centre” has made it possible to honour both personalities and themes of the peace movement.
The place, the Peace Gallery, is defined: Art is free. In this context, the artists have a lot of freedom in their exhibitions.
The crimes of National Socialism against human existence, its destruction and extermination are very present. Therefore love and respect for life, for others, must be guarded and protected. This must be reflected in the Peace Gallery. We must not be satisfied with photographing and documenting violence and cruelty. A certain irritation and refraction is necessary for our seeing and our perception of our environment.
