Museuminsel

Berlin is known for their great museums. They have what is called Museum Island. It is exactly what it sounds like, an island of museums. Although, all of the buildings aren't museums. This building below is the Berliner Dom/Cathedral. It is an Evangelical church, which I may have to attend before I leave.

This is the Altes Museum, it displays Greek and Roman artifacts. It is to the left of all the pictures I have of the Dom.

Pea on Museuminsel!

The structure to the right of the Dom is the TV tower. It is located almost central of Berlin and is a great reference point. It lights up at night and you can go up it and see the view.

We were on museum island because we had a class field trip at the Old National Gallery, which is the image after this one. Gina is in my class!

The Old National Gallery. The crane like thing to the left of the building means construction. They are EVERYWHERE. Berlin is building new U-Bahn lines and stops and on museum island they are building a museum designed after an old palace. Lots of cranes.

Lion in front of the Old National Gallery, thought we'd add a little happiness to his stoicism.

The art in the Old National Gallery was great, awesome to have an art historian, our professor, to guide us through!

Cheers!
