A Day at the Museum

Allan, Christiane, and Robekkeh dropped in for the Halloween weekend. Among the stops, the Pergamon museum, where an entire Greek temple edifice was transported to the middle of Berlin, among hundreds of other artifacts.

I have an unreasonable love of cuniform, especially as worked into bas reliefs. There's something magical about such an elemental alphabet flowing over an image in shadow and texture.

It's the Filmhaus on Potzdammer Platz. It's located in the Sony Center. It traces film in German history (silent films, to the Nazi era, to Run Lola Run, also includes a wing for Marlene Dietrich). The entrance to the exhibits is amazing, I can't describe it properly, but you walk on what feels like a catwalk it , everything's shiny steel-it feels like you're suspended in mid air.

I have no idea what this says, but these guys got chased away by the police after awhile (they were near the train station).

Here's some of the outside.
