Do You Dare to Play?

The exhibition examines the history and legacy of the East Berlin-based collective Spielwagen Berlin 1, which emerged in the late GDR period as a pioneering force in experimental play and informal education. The show explores the extent to which the group could maneuver within the strictly-controlled public sphere of the German Democratic Republic, as well as the often subversive tactics that made this possible. On Saturday (April 18, 2026), the exhibition will close earlier than usual and will be open until 3 p.m.
