It was originally installed next to the popular Paley Park, situated on 53rd Street near Madison Avenue. The five colorful panels that make up this part of the Berlin Wall were visible from the sidewalk until 2014 when they vanished. They reappeared in the lobby of 520 Madison Avenue, in an effort to preserve the historic slabs from weather and further decay, but have since disappeared again.\"\n\nWith the potential to reappear once again in the future, be sure to check TripAdvisor to keep up to date.
