Germany - Berlin
Pergamon Museum
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Am Kupfergraben 5 |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
The Pergamon Museum is named for its most prized possession the enormous Pergamon Altar. This beautifully preserved altar, dating from the 2nd century B.C., was brought from the west coast of Turkey and erected in an enormous hall. Pay the small extra cost for the half-hour tape-recorded tour that gives you a real perspective on this masterpiece of Hellenistic art. Almost as impressive is the adjacent Babylonian Processional Street where lions stride along the street’s walls to the soaring blue-and-ochre tiles of the Ishtar Gate (604–562 B.C.). (10 am–5 pm, closed Mondays.)
