Just can't get away from work...

I have walked soooo much today. I visited the Judisches (Jewish) Museum of Berlin as well as the Pergamon Museum. The architecture of the Jewish Museum was designed by Daniel Libeskind, who happens to be the architect for the project I am working on at home: San Francisco Contemporary Jewish Museum. The exhibit as well as the layout of the building is extraordinary. I have never been in a building that stirs up so much emotion. Simply amazing!!!


Inside the Reichstag...no meeting for the Parliment today

Interior of Berlin Jewish Museum...the corridor of confusion

Sitting inside Jewish Museum of Berlin...a haunting experience

As for Pergamon Museum, it is all Greek Sculptures. Basically, if you are in Turkey looking at the ruins, you will come to a point where the exhibit will tell you to go to Berlin and England for the remaining (actually the most important) pieces. How odd...but Germany at the time, wanted to measure up to the rest of the world, particularly Paris. The exhibit is just massive and overwhelming. By the end of the day, I was very "museumed" out...so I went to the pub.
