An exhibition tells the story of the morning of October 7, 2023, about 3,000 people attending the Nova Music Festival in the Israeli desert became the victims of the deadliest in a concert in history. For the Israeli army, Hamas members killed 378 festivals, injured hundreds and more than 40 were taken hostage in Gaza Strip.
“October 7, 06:29 AM – The Moment Museum Still,” is known as the Nova exhibition, shown in Tel Aviv, New York, Buenos Aires and other cities. Now, it is on performance in Berlin.
Instead of providing a general observation of conflict, it focuses only on individuals who were at the Nova Music Festival in Israel. Through the multimedia installation, forensic evidence and the first accounts of the survivors and their families, exhibition displays atrocities to visitors, and encourages the reflection.
The exhibition is based on the historical Templehof Airport, where the festival ground is re -built using multimedia, and has three parts.

The exhibition includes several videos on the screen, recorded by the victims, describing the attack from their hiding places. Some people were filmed by criminals who made it live stream on the internet as it was happening. In the center of the exhibition, there are tables displaying objects left behind by festivals: shoes, backpacks, cell phones cases, clothes.
Finally, the third part is dedicated to healing: under the motto “We Will Dance Again,” a room reminds visitors to music, community and power of resistance. “This exhibition belongs to the days and months after the attack, as the healing process is part of everyday life,” Fingold said.
