A few Berlin art recommendations

berlin-art-20130801.txt

We've spent more time at museums than seeing contemporary art. Highlights:

Nefertiti and the Light of Amarna show at Neues Museum. That museum is also an 
amazing example of mixing new architecture with old as part of a restoration. 
The Nefertiti bust isn't hyped. It really is an amazing work of art.

Museum Island in general is pretty amazing. You can buy a 1-day pass good 
just for it.

A 3-day museum pass can be bought at any of the Museum Island museums, 
and also gets you into a number of others, including the Neue Nationalgalerie.

The Neue Nationalgalerie (designed by Mies van der Rohe) has a very interesting 
take on post-war art in the current permanent collection show. It's quite 
different from the history we see from MoMA.

We never miss a visit to the Hamburger Bahnhof. Kippenberger show is great, 
as are the permanent collection areas including Josef Beuys.
