The German Historical Museum lies on the eastern end of Unter den Linden, a pretty street lined with shops. Last semester, I took a class in Ethnic Conflict at the University of Michigan and learned how recently Germany actually became the nation we know today. That raised questions about what happened earlier. This museum had many of the answers. The permanent exhibit is housed in the older building shown here.
This detail from one of the exhibit rooms in the building above reveals the inner court yard. I took a number of photos of the marvelous door handle shown here (click on the image).
On the left, flanking the older section sits the new I.M. Pei Building, which houses temporary exhibits. If you happen to be in the vicinity and desparate for internet, there are free terminals downstairs. Yes, I spent a bit of time down there.
