One of the coolest museums I've ever been to - the Pergamon in Berlin. It is a huge collection of ancient artifacts, mostly sculptures and actual buildings. Yeah, they recovered actual ancient building from Babylonia, Asia Minor, etc. and rebuilt them inside the museum. It's just amazing to see a huge room filled with a 3000 year old temple. So weird. I must admit that it is cooler to see ancient buildings in their actual original location, but since we all cannot make it to Egypt or Isreal, it's really cool that the people in charge of the Pergamon have preserved these pieces for posterity.
