Freedom Park


Freedom Park is an outdoors museum in Arlington, Virginia, United States. It was founded in 1996 to celebrate the spirit of freedom and the struggle to preserve it. The Freedom Park is a joint-venture with the Newseum and Freedom Forum Journalists Memorial , both operated by the Freedom Forum.

Exhibits include pieces of the Berlin Wall (the largest display of the wall outside of Germany), stones from the Warsaw Ghetto, a headless statue of Vladimir Lenin (one of many that were beheaded when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991), and a bronze cast of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birmingham jail-cell door.
