Neues Museum Revisited

I and Rik Mayda of mayda3000 blogspot fame went back a year later to see the final walk through of the rebuilt Neues Museum, the last of the 5 museums in the center of Berlin to be rebuilt from WWII damage. Now the exhibits will be installed over the next 200 days, but make no mistake, the building itself has become art in its own right through the clever architectural work of David Chipperfield. The final museum will house antiquities from Roman,Egyptian, Macydonian and other cultures, including the world famous Nefertiti bust.
