From Diefenbunker

The Diefenbunker was filled to capacity for the opening of Cold War Berlin: Life at the Breaking Point, including special guest His Excellency Matthias Hoepfner, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Created by Algonquin College students Eric Espig and Grant Vogl, the exhibition explores the the city of Berlin as an important intersection between the ideologies of East and West during the Cold War.

Remarks by His Excellency, Diefenbunker Executive Director Alexandra Badzak, and exhibition creators Vogl and Espig were followed by a reception and exhibition viewing. Attendees also toured the bunker.

The exhibit is slated to run until May 2010. Check out the design team's online diary of the exhibit installation process on their blog, Exhibit:f.
