The exhibition, which examines the history and legacy of the East Berlin-based educational collective Spielwagen Berlin 1, will be opened by urbanist Levente Polyák.

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. During the exhibition, on weekends, part of the gallery space will be reserved for children: they will be free to build and play in the space set up by the Association for Free Play.
