this museum consists on 1:1 scale models of ancient structures in the old world. very interesting and impressive. different than lots of other museums i visited in the past

From the huge staircase of the Pergamon temple and frieze to the stunning cobalt blue Ishtar gate and everything else in this museum, I walked around with my eyes wide with amazement.

My husband had been wanting to come to the Pergamon for awhile, honestly didn't see what the big deal was...until I got there.

All my reviews are written from the heart, and how each... More

If you have time for just one museum, this is it! I visited the original site in Turkey a few decades ago, then mainly ruins and a hole in the ground. I am glad I now had the opportunity to see the real thing, the temple as it once stood on that site.
