Berlin Wall in Reykjavík

Part of the Berlin Wall was received by Reykjavík Mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson by Höfði House Saturday, according to a press release form the City of Reykjavík.

This is a gift to the City of Reykjavík from Neu West Berlin Art Gallery in Berlin. October 3, the Day of German Unity, is the national day of Germany, which this year marked the 25th anniversary of German unification in 1990.

The part of the wall in question weighs four tons, but similar gifts have been given to a number of cities, including Los Angeles, London and Simi Valley in California.
