(Guest blogger again! - maybe he'll catch the bug and start his own?)
The Pergamon (named after the ancient city)
houses many architectural features and is presented impressively.
It was interesting to reflect on the similarities
in the development of paintings and sculpture over the years.
The smart artist (not me as I am a different
smart A) would ensure that their patron was always represented well.
The Neues (new) museum (paradoxically holding
works going back to 4,000 BCE) has an awe-inspiring presentation of Egyptian
sarcophagy.
Photos (even without flash) are verboten of
Nefertiti (the beautiful queen).
Had she not been famous, I doubt that I’d have
bothered, the nearby gold-encrusted noblewoman being a more impressive artefact.
Afterwards, the glitz of West Berlin helped
recalibrate - if anyone has a Dalmatian that can take smooth pictures, let me
know.
