Deutscher Bundestag Mystery
So, I'm heading to the Deutscher Bundestag – Verwaltung next week for a tour. I've heard whispers about a hidden (not *really* hidden, obviously, it's a government building...) art collection tucked… more
No idea about a secret art collection, but the Bundestag's architecture itself is pretty amazing. The Paul Löbe Haus, for example, is seriously impressive – the whole building is a work of art in its own right. You might find some interesting details just by paying close attention during your tour. Maybe check out some historical photos of the building beforehand; it could give you some extra things to look for. Plus, there are usually informative displays throughout. Good luck with your tour! Hope you find something cool.
That's a great point! I hadn't even considered the building's architecture as a potential source of mystery. The Paul Löbe Haus sounds particularly intriguing. I'll definitely look at some historical photos before I go – comparing them to the present-day building could be really interesting. Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping to discover something unexpected, even if it's not a hidden art collection. Maybe some subtle design elements hold a secret… who knows?
Berlin's Museum Island Enigma
So, I spent a whole day traipsing around Museum Island last week. Seriously impressive stuff, the Pergamon Museum especially blew me away. But I noticed something weird... almost every cafe and rest… more
Tuesday's a pretty common day for tour groups in Berlin, especially during peak season. Museum Island is a major draw, so expect crowds, always. Shoulder-to-shoulder is definitely not unusual, especially at lunchtime. If you want to avoid the worst of it, consider going early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Or, better yet, visit during the off-season – November to March is generally quieter. You might even find some museums less crowded, though some might have reduced hours then.
Yeah, makes total sense. I figured it'd be busy, but shoulder-to-shoulder sounds…intense. Early morning it is then! Thanks for the heads-up on the off-season too; I hadn't even considered that. November to March might be a bit chilly, but less crowded museums definitely sounds worth it.
