Nova Music Festival exhibition opens in Berlin  DW  10/07/2025
"An exhibition tells the story of the morning of October 7, 2023, when approximately 3,000 people attending the Nova Music Festival in the Israeli desert became the victims of the deadliest attack on a music event in history. According to the Israeli military, Hamas members killed 378 festivalgoers, hundreds were injured and more than 40 were taken hostage into the Gaza Strip."
""October 7, 06:29 AM The Moment Music Stood Still," also known as the Nova Exhibition, has been shown in Tel Aviv, New York, Buenos Aires and other cities. Now, it's on display in Berlin. Rather than providing a general overview of the conflict, it focuses solely on the individuals who were at the Nova Music Festival in Israel. Through multimedia installations, forensic evidence and firsthand accounts from survivors and their families, the exhibition displays the atrocities to visitors and encourages reflection."
"The exhibition takes place on the grounds of the historic Tempelhof Airport, where the festival grounds are reconstructed using multimedia, and consists of three parts. The first part features an introductory video in the entrance hall before visitors enter a replica of a campsite on the festival grounds. All of the items on display tents, burned-out cars, personal belongings, bullet-ridden portable toilets are from the original site."
