The new capital is booming. The place, where modern architecture is redefining the skyline has a magical appeal. Berlin is the current highlight for tourists not only as a place for hip events, but also as a first-grade cultural metropolis like the Philharmonics, the Berlin Film Festival “Berlinale” or the musical “Cats”. The number of sights is unrivalled and the offers for tourists are chameleonic as the city’s mentality. The sights in Berlin, for example the Brandenburger Tor, tell the history of a nation. Famous architects built here charming edifices. The dramatic events of recent history left their traces, where the remains of the Berlin wall adjoin to the futurist buildings of today. The collections in Berlin’ s museums include treasures of the world. Berlin is an art metropolis: with its finger on the pulse of the times, Berlin is home to an emergent vital, new art scene. Berlin is once again the city where trends are put in motion. But it is also a city of history, shaped by creativity, turmoil and tradition. The city's museums display not only the traces of history, but some of the world's most treasured artefacts: a unique variety and density of art, a true encyclopaedic compendium of history and world art from all epochs. Over 170 museums house history, art and knowledge, creating a unique museum landscape. Berlin's museums house world cultural treasure such as the Pergamon Altar and Berlin's most beautiful woman, Nefertiti, masters from Giotto to Caravaggio, from Joseph Beuys to the "young wild ones" like Baselitz, Haring and others. The museum landscape is a dynamic one that continues to grow at a breathtaking tempo.
