Visitors start in a room called Thinking the World and move on to an introductory space entitled Berlin Images. Rooms with individual themes then follow: Revolution, Free Space, Boundaries, Entertainment, War, Fashion and Interconnection. These aspects also feature in other metropolises, but the constellation captures the essence of the city.
In the exhibition, those who know the ropes have their say: People who live here, experts, artists, initiatives and associations: Their stories, experiences and perspectives bring BERLIN GLOBAL to life.

Kulturprojekte Berlin was responsible for the overall management of the project including the exhibition production, communication and – together with the Stadtmuseum Berlin – for education, accessibility and inclusion.
