Deutsches Historisches Museum

Fodor's Review:

The museum is composed of two buildings. The magnificent pink, baroque Prussian arsenal (Zeughaus) was constructed between 1695 and 1730 and is the oldest building on Unter den Linden. After reunification its exhibits were closed for years as curators from East and West debated how to articulate a history that encompasses empires and two postwar Germanys. The permanent exhibits re-opened in mid-2006 and offer a modern and fascinating view of German history. Behind the arsenal, the granite-and-glass Pei-Bau building by I. M. Pei holds changing exhibits.
