Almost empty


I was looking through some photos and I realized that I never showcased a trip I made to the Pergamon Museum back in March. I took a guided tour which was so interesting, we got a bit behind, but the guards were nice enough to let us finish up about ten minutes after the official closing. Otherwise it would be very rare indeed to see the Pergamon Altar so empty - usually it's a real traffic jam of tourists! I find the Pergamon one of Berlin's most interesting museums and I'll be showing more of it over the next few days, so please stop by.

  4. Very cool! At first this gave me a strong feeling of déjà vu then I remembered that I've seen this place on TV. I hope to go to this museum someday. :-)

  6. The scale here is remarkable. The person descending the stairs looks like an ant.

  8. I LOVED this museum when I visited East Berlin a year or two before the wall went down. Years before I had a digital camera. . . oh, how I wish!!

  9. This is really quite incredible. And huge. The person coming down the steps really shows off the scale of the place. How lucky you were to be there almost by yourself!
