Today marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany. Weren’t there in 1989? Don’t worry: Boston has two places you can check out large pieces of the once 96-mile-long wall.

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum

220 Morrissey Blvd., Boston

Open 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

The museum has a 12-foot section of the Berlin Wall on display. The large concrete hunk was donated to the JFK Library by the German government. It’s covered in brightly colored graffiti.

In 1963, former President Kennedy described the Wall: “We take no satisfaction in it, for it is an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.’’
