2013-03-10 Pergamonmuseum Altar

My third day in Berlin was spent at Museum Island, a small island in the middle of the city with five world-class museums. The first I visited was the Pergamonmuseum (“Pergamon Museum”). This is the museum’s eponymous exhibit: the colossal Pergamon Altar, moved in its entirery from Asia Minor to here.
