Museumsinsel

Yesterday was a Feiertag (public holiday) because of Christi Himmelfahrt (Assention Day, literally "Christ's Sky Journey"). I visited three out of five Museums on Museumsinsel (Museums Island): Bode, Old National Gallery, and New Museum.



My favorite was the Old National Gallery and it's marble sculpture. A close second was the ivory collection in Bode Museum. The Egyptian collection in Old National Gallery was also interesting.



After the museums I checked out the local churches. Unfortunately, the most impressive church had bouncers for tourists so I never got inside.
