Now, as Berlin prepares to take its place as a major world capital with the transfer of government from Bonn, Kaplan offers a handy, entertaining, useful guide to the fascinating but often overlooked museums in and around this historic city. Just in time to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, this fully illustrated guidebook introduces 30 unusual artistic, cultural, and historical gems. From the Museum of Musical Instruments and the Farmer's House and Pickle Museum to the Anti-War Museum and the Bauhaus Archive-Berlin Museum of Design, these varied venues offer something for everyone. Each museum is lavishly illustrated and comprehensively described. Addresses and phone numbers, hours of admittance, travel directions, and a map are included.
