Divided into four sections, the exhibition explores the story behind the Berlin Wall and the world it represented – a global conflict between capitalism and communism that brought our planet to the brink of nuclear destruction.
The Berlin Wall. A World Divided. combines multiple perspectives and experiences through a unique collection of artifacts, media and diverse testimonies. The exhibition traces the origins and rise of the Cold War conflict.
Extending its narrative to the fall of the Wall in 1989, as a prelude to the end of the Cold War, the exhibition hints at the legacy of an era that continues, in essence, to shape the world and goes beyond the conventional narrative about the history of the Berlin Wall.

Included in your admission is an audio guide, which provides additional information with a carefully crafted narrative. Audio guide available in English, Spanish and French.

Moreover, the production has grossed over $6 billion in global sales and has been seen by over 70 million people! Now that’s pretty impressive!

A Woman After God’s Own Heart conference, created by gospel music artist Lynda Randle, is a two-day, annual conference event for women of all ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, and upbringings. The vision for the Woman After God’s Own Heart conference (WAGOH for short), was birthed in Lynda’s heart and spirit in 2002 and the Lord allowed it to come to fruition in 2008, with its initial launch taking place in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. Through music, dance, motivational speakers, prayer, and humor, this conference has uplifted women around the country and internationally.

God is calling this conference to be a conference for the churched and unchurched alike; the visibly flawed and broken and those carrying invisible scars alike. A place where women from all walks of life feel welcomed, embraced, and loved by God and one another, and can enjoy Biblical teaching, fellowship, laughter, encouragement, and community.

This year’s theme is:

Press. Push. PERSEVERE!!! and is based on James 1:12, which reminds us that “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
