Berlin’s Dramatic Contrast Explored Through Art

Berlin is famous for a plethora of reasons.  Of those one of the most well known is its character.  It is a wild city of contrasts both within the city limits and when explored alongside greater Germany as a whole.  In August I had the chance to re-visit one of Europe’s most famous cities.  Instead of detailing the experience in words I’ve decided to mix it up a bit and to explore it through art and color.   The photos in this post were taken at the various museums on Museum Island, at the Berlin Wall and Hackescher Markt Station.

  1. Just wonderful. I love art and had such a pleasure in getting through these beautiful photos.

    I was in Berlin in March and although I visited a number of places, there’s definitely so much I missed. A good reason to go back soon!

  2. This is a great way to show the colourful contrasts in Germany! I’m a big fan of all the contemporary street art there but the Berlin Wall East Side Gallery was my favourite part, especially because it combined the city’s fascinating history with a more modern approach.
