The Lennon Wall has been a popular tourist attraction for a number of years now. The wall and its graffiti was a reaction to Lennon’s death in 1980, and since Western imagery was banned in a then Czechoslovakia due to Communism rule, the wall was part tribute-part peaceful protest. In November 2014, the wall was suddenly painted white, and the message “Wall Is Over” was left. Days later, people started painting more Lennon graffiti on the blank canvas and changed the message to “War Is Over.”
