Pergammon Museum, East Berlin

Pergamonn

The Pergamon Museum is one of the museums on the Museum Island in Berlin. Its one of the best museums I have seen in all my travels.

It took 10 years to build this edifice and houses original-sized, reconstructed monumental buildings such as the Pergamon Altar (photo above), the Market Gate of Miletus, and the Ishtar Gate, all consisting of parts transported from the original excavation sites.

All those gigantic antique excavacations will surely leave your awed and breathless, specially the humongous Ishtar gate.
