Another Thursday - another museum's visit!
This time I was in the Gemäldegallerie (Painting's Gallery). I haven't been there before because it was newly reopened in 1998.
I was quite impressed - first of the paintings of course, but also of the marvellous architecture and interior. But what masterpieces of art: so many works of the most world-famous painters: Rembrandt, Rubens, Cranach, D?rer, Bruegel, Vermeer van Delft, Canaletto, Caravaggio, Rafael, Tizian, Botticelli and many, many more! I haven't known, that there can be looked at so many paintings of so many famous artists in Berlin.
I have been in this gallery almost three hours and I was surprised, when a voice informed, that the museum would close in a few minutes at 10 pm. And I had only seen the half of it! This means, of course, there will be another visit of it in the near future - for the rest of it.
