What to do and see in Tiergarten, Germany: The Best Museums
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

The Gemaldegalerie in Berlin contains one of the world's leading collections of paintings covering the period from the 13th to the 18th centuries, including an exceptional collection of works by great German artists - as the website notes: "including paintings by Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, and Jan Vermeer van Delft." Since I was teens I had to cut my tour short, but still enjoyed it immensely.

Staatliche Museen zu Berlin closed from Saturday onwards From Saturday, 14.03.2020, onwards all buildings of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin will be closed until further notice. This measure is intended to minimise the spread of the coronavirus. We ask our visitors for their understanding. The Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) is the oldest of its kind in Germany. It houses world-famous examples of European arts and crafts, including magnificent reliquaries made of gold and precious gemstones, exquisite vases of glass and porcelain, finely embroidered textiles, ornate inlaid furniture, and classic examples of modern industrial design. The permanent and special exhibitions hosted by the Kunstgewerbemuseum can be seen at two locations in Berlin: at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz and in the picturesque setting of Schloss Kopenick on an island on the river Dahme. The Schloss Kopenick site features masterpieces of interior design from the 16th to 18th centuries.

From the medieval Welfenschatz (Guelph treasure) to twentieth-century ceramics and glass, this is a splendid collection of treasures from many centuries. Though clearly not as popular as the Gemaeldegalerie to which it is connected by an underground passage, the Museum of Applied Art will prove rich rewarding to those who are interested in objects of use, many of them very beautiful. Highly recommended!

I went with my teenage son for something to do in the heat and we were blown away. The artefacts are fascinating (particularly the those linked to the early silent era) and the Marlene Dietrich collection is a must for any film buff. The whole experience is beautifully arranged and I would highly recommend it.

In these dark times, don’t miss a chance to honor ordinary people who found it within themselves to do extraordinary things. The housekeeper who didn’t hesitate to hide her employers for a day or a week. The Christian teacher who smuggled food to former students. The former art student who used his talent to forge documents that saved lives. The army officers who risked their lives trying to stop Hitler. Each one was and is a candle in the darkness. Young and old. Men and women. They refused to look away.

Visited here last week, tucked out of the way so you have to make the effort to go and find this for a very interesting visit. If you’ve heard of or watched the film Valkyrie with Tom Cruise you should definitely visit here as this tells the story of various assassination attempts on Hitlers life. A very historic location with a great exhibit. Well worth the visit.
