Museums
The Musikinstrumentenmuseum (Musical Instruments Museum)
includes (clockwise from above left) some 17th century gambas,
some violins with bizarre appendages, and guitars both new and old.

Melissa noted that it was eerily quiet for a musical instrument museum.


The Jüdisches Museum documents centuries of Jewish history, customs, and oppression.

The painting to the right is by a holocaust survivor.

The building (below) is a remarkable piece of architecture.


The Pergamon Museum is a "must-see."

Named after the Pergamon Altar from ancient Turkey,
it has a world-renowned collection of antiquities,
including fairly complete facades of some ancient temples.

Unfortunately, this was the only picture we took there.


The Museum für Naturkunde (Museum of Natural History)
is known for displaying the largest mounted dinosaur
skeleton in the world, although that part was closed.

These diverse skulls are all from modern humans.
