September 27, 2011 Berlin, Germany Museum – Pergamum Museum

We had some technical problems with my phone and computer and missed connecting with Kimberly and Christina to visit the Pergamum Museum. (Technology today is not perfect.)

We decided to just go ahead and go and maybe see them there and hook up with them later. We didn’t see them there but we did enjoy the museum soooo much . This museum has huge walls inside the museum such as the Pergamum Alter and Ishtar Gate from Babylon, beautiful mosaics, rugs, etc. The world would have lost some great art treasurers.

What a day!

This was a wonder exhibit.  I cannot imagine having these in a building and not having them destroyed would have been a terrible thing to happen.
