The exhibition conveys the story of the struggles and triumphs of Central
and Eastern European nations as they regained their freedoms and democratic
rights in the wake of the 1989 revolutions. It transports us back to a
pivotal moment in European history—one that forever changed the fate of
our continent. As we marked the 35th anniversary of the 1989 revolutions
last year, the exhibition reflects on the profound political
transformations that followed and celebrates the remarkable achievements
born of that historic turning point. It brings together a unique display of
political posters and iconic visuals with contributions from twelve
countries—Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia—as perhaps
never before.
The European Parliament pays tribute to the significant achievements of
democratization in many ways. Several symbols of the 1989 revolutions are
publicly displayed on its premises in Brussels, including two segments of
the Berlin Wall. The Antall József Building was named after the first
democratically elected Prime Minister of Hungary, and the Esplanade
Solidarność commemorates the iconic opposition movement in Poland. The
symbolic naming of one of the central lobbies  after the Baltic Way pays
tribute to the Baltic democratic movement. This exhibition draws attention
to that pivotal moment in history and geography—what was achieved then,
and what is at stake now, as war has returned to the European continent
with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It serves as a powerful
reminder of the shared values that unite us and the respect of democracy.
