Tag am Museum

Like the National Mall in Washington DC, several of Berlin's major museums are grouped together, on the Museumsinsel. There are major renovation plans in progress on this island, which means that a couple of the buildings are unfortunately closed.


Berliner Dom



The main cathedral of Berlin is also located here.


Altes Museum



The Old Museum's most famous piece is the bust of Queen Nefertiti. The building itself is by Schinkel, the noted architect of Berlin (as we have learned).

There is only time to visit one museum, so it will have to be the Pergamon. Main attractions are the Altar of Pergamon, and the Ishtar Gate. Unfortunately, I checked my camera, so other people's photos will have to do.
