The East Side Gallery is an open-air gallery located in Berlin, Germany. It is a 1.3-kilometer-long section of the Berlin Wall, which was painted by artists from around the world shortly after the wall came down in 1989. The gallery is located on the eastern side of the Spree river and features over 100 murals created by artists from more than 20 countries.

The murals depict themes of freedom, unity, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some of the most famous paintings include "The Kiss" by Dmitri Vrubel, which shows Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German leader Erich Honecker kissing, and "My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love" by Dmitri Vrubel and Viktor Koretsky, which shows the same two leaders kissing.

The East Side Gallery is one of the most visited landmarks in Berlin and attracts millions of tourists every year. In 1992, the gallery was declared a protected landmark and has since been restored several times to preserve the artwork.
