| World Cup Football Globe returns to Berlin |
The »Football Globe – FIFA World Cup 2006« is the travelling ambassador of the Federal Government’s Artistic and Cultural Programme for FIFA World Cup 2006.
For three years the mobile venue has been touring Germany's twelve host cities bringing football culture to its visitors in an emotional and fun way. The characteristic design of the Globe combines the shapes of the planet earth and a football to symbolise the worldwide fascination for the game that helps bring nations closer together.
The Football Globe will be on show at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin from 1 June to 9 July.
By day the “Football Globe - FIFA World Cup 2006” acts as an interactive exhibition room. On the lower level cult objects from the world of football, for example Oliver Kahn's goalkeeping gloves, Zinédine Zidane's signed football boot and the ball used in the 1954 Final are on display. The exhibits vary from city to city.
The interactive part of the exhibition invites the visitor to stop at ten different stations to get to know the different aspects of football and try them out. For example, there are three plasma screens with 'Football stars' you can touch, virtual goal wall shooting, a refereeing game, clips of unusual footballing incidents and much more. The Globe exhibition is connected to the internet via the 'Soccer-My Love' facility. Here, fans can register their declarations of love for the beautiful game. These contributions then appear on the website.
Several evenings a week the interior of the “Football Globe - FIFA World Cup 2006” is transformed into a studio. Nearly 200 events have been held so far where German-speaking and international guests - football stars, fans, politicians, poets, musicians, actors and scientists- have presented the public with new images and ideas from the overlap of football and culture. |
