Without a doubt, those who are accustomed to treating Berlin condescendingly have simply not been there for a long time - today there is a real expanse for people interested in history, culture, science ...
The traditionally rich German museum funds are also presented to visitors so skillfully that it will not be possible to quickly leave the institution, even if you are not a big fan of medieval Flemish painting or the architecture of the Sumerian civilization.
