Pergamon museum

OK, I give up. In what country and city is the Pergamon Museum located?

Bev, I thought the Pergamon museum is quite well known? It's almost like asking which city the Louvre is in. It's the most visited museum in all of Germany ... and to answer your question it is in Berlin. Sorry Sarah, I have no experience with online tickets. They were not available when we toured the museum.

I'm sorry Sarah and Beatrix, I have never been to Berlin. My travel to Germany was limited to the Munich area and along the Rhine and Mosel Rivers in 1972. However, my husband and I did fly into the Frankfurt airport on our way to Colmar. We have spent much more time in France because I can speak French well enough to be understood if people ignore my grammar and conjucations. My husband studied German in HS but that was a looooog time ago. We have also travelled in Italy. Perhaps, someday I will go to Berlin but after Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Croatia, Greece...but I still love France! If and when I go to Berlin, I will put the Pergamon Museum on my list since everyone knows about it. In what, if anything special, does the Pergamon specialize?

Sarah, I visited the Pergamon last year and had bought the three day Museum Pass. There was a long queue for people waiting to buy tickets, but people who already had passes (or tickets) could walk right in. I believe that they had a sign out front indicating this.

Bev, the Pergamon Museum is named after the Pergamon Altar. For me, it was the Ishtar Gate from ancient Babylon that just blew me away. The museum houses a large antiquity collection, the Middle East museum, and the museum of Islamic art.

According to the Australian travel media Berlin is the "It-Girl of European cities" these days... ;-) It will be succeeded as such by Warsaw in the 2020s... It's already predicted ;-) I called the Pergamon museum to get this clarified. As holder of a self-print ticket you do NOT need to line up again, you just walk in. Only if the museum is too full they may ask you to wait for 15 minutes. But with an online ticket there is no lining up. Also you get a free audio guide as holder of such ticket.

Thank you so much every one especially Andreas It was really helpful
