Today, we were on tour on the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
We saw two nice exhibits about the Berliner wall.
The first show different places, each place with two pics. One pic shows the location shortly after the fall of the wall, and one over ten years later.
The second section showed the results of a project from Paderborn students, who tried to find traces of the wall over 10 years it fell.
Actually, I have not learned something new about the wall. Interesting was the background information about the famous picture with the soldier jumping over barbed wire. But all in all, I have refreshed some infos, but added not really new stuff in my brain.
As far as I know deal the German exhibits in Germany just with the time till the fall of the wall. This exhibit in Columbus went further (?) and wanted to find out, which changes really happened.

Interesting comments. Do you think the average American would learn anything about the Berlin Wall from this exhibit?
