Pergamon Museum

About

Walking through the old streets of Berlin's Mitte, the faint shadow of a stone-built building comes into view. Revealed behind it, the massive columns and walls of the Pergamon Museum look as though the ancient world stands frozen, having forgotten time. The moment the Great Altar of Zeus catches the light and reveals its grandeur, a sensation rushes in, as if your fingertips were brushing the surface of the stone itself. Carvings flowing along the columns of the market gate whisper as if speaking a myth that has lost its language, drawing visitors into that era. Here, it is not time but the relics themselves that speak to you.
