A Day of history

On the last day class we split up I stayed in Berlin to see the Berlin City museum and the one museum that we didn't see from museum island earlier in the trip. The City museum was very interesting and give a great overview of the history of the city. The showed old models of the city, buildings and what it was like in the city during WWII and during the wall.






Afterwards we went to the museum which had mostly religious artifacts though out history. There were a lot of pictures and statues of the virgin Mary and child. (sadly my camera died and I don't have any pictures) We also went to the new Synagogue not far from the Museum. It was mostly destroyed during the war then rebuilt afterwards. They had a small exhibit of the history of the Jews in the area and then we climb to the top of the dome in the Synagogue.
