Berlin Wall Original Pieces

As part of Dubai Summer Suprises, Burjuman Mall hosted The Collectors Exhibit last week. From modified vintage cars, to rare coins and currency, vintage branded sunglasses, designer bottles, and other antiques, the shopping mall's alleys and atrium were filled with priceless hobbies.

Today, I am sharing to you the prestigious historical collection by  Suhail Al Zarooni. These are the original pieces of Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting August 13, 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin.

Euphoric public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification.
