The world’s first anti-war museum was founded in Berlin in 1925 by pacifist and writer Ernst Friedrich and is celebrating its
100th anniversary this year. After being closed by the Nazis in 1933, the anti-war museum reopened in 1982. Ernst Friedrich’s
grandson Tommy Spree and a dedicated group of volunteers have been taking care of the museum and the visitors. Today, it is
recognized as a non-profit organization and is largely financed
by donations.
Frank Geßner, professor of theory and practice of visual arts, has curated an interdisciplinary exhibition at the PEACE GALLERY with students from the Babelsberg Film University KONRAD WOLF & GUESTS. Beyond the classic white cube, an associative “thought exhibition” on the theme of war and peace is staged in the tradition of the universal Wunderkammer.
The exhibition uses QR codes to make multimedia content accessible. The QR codes can only be scanned with your own mobile devices and used with personal headphones.
ANTI-KRIEGS-MUSEUM: PEACE GALLERY, November 9, 2025 – January 16, 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.
