Part 1:The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) is home to one of the largest collections of 19th century sculptures and paintings in Germany, displayed to perfection in the newly-reopened 19th century building. Highlights include the Caspar David Friedrich room with its eerie moonlit landscapes, and the Impressionist collection.

part 2: Old Museum (Altes Museum)
Being the oldest and largest public building in Berlin, this museum is part of the Museum Island and one of the internationally renowned museums of Berlin. The Altes Museum was buil between 1825 and 1830 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel architect in the neoclassical style. The building was severely damaged during the Second World War and restored in 1966. The museum features Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian antiquities.

Museum fur Film and Fernsehen:
Hooray for Hollywood, but remember that some of the personalities that gave it glamour and style came from Germany. Actors Marlene Dietrich and Peter Lorre, directors Billy Wilder and Josef von Sternberg came out of a country with a strong film-making tradition. Photo stills, footage, set designs and costumes provide glimpses of the familiar, and exhibits on Leni Riefenstahl's shooting of Olympia (1936) and Nazi entertainment c.q. propaganda films will impress 'seen-that' film buffs. The museum ends with special effects and science fiction.

Hamburger Bahnhof (Museum für Gegenwart):

Housed in an imposing former railway station, the grandly-named Museum for the Present has a permanent collection featuring works from artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Joseph Beuys (whose installations occupy the whole ground floor of one wing). The museum also plays host to temporary exhibitions like the Saatchi show 'Sensation'; in contrast to the furore it inspired in New York, the unflappable Berliners took it in their stride.
