Things to do in Berlin - Week of November 04!

3. Zeughausmesse - Applied Contemporary Art
The Zeughausmesse is a prominent fair for contemporary applied arts, offering artists and designers a platform to showcase and sell their creations. You can directly engage with the objects on display, as Modern Craft emphasizes not only visual appeal but also practical use. Items such as hats, furniture, bags, jewelry, and lamps demonstrate high-level craftsmanship paired with experimental design. Beyond exhibitions, the fair provides a space for interaction between artists and visitors, encouraging exchange and dialogue within Berlin’s applied arts scene. More info.
We are in the process of furnishing our apartment; maybe that's why this event caught my attention.

November 9 marks several significant historical events, including the proclamation of the German Republic in 1918, the Hitler Putsch in 1923, the Reichspogromnacht in 1938, and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. To observe these important milestones, November 9, will commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Wall's fall with a comprehensive program throughout Berlin.
