Today was a day to explore Berlin and its treasures. We began the day by traveling by train to Museum Island, where we were treated to another wonderful tour. The tour was followed by a detailed tour of Neues Museum. This museum featured Egyptian treasures, most notably a statue of Nefertiti. This museum was partially destroyed during bombings in WWII and was recently re-opened. The reconstruction includes new and old portions of the building, allowing the museum, itself to be part of the display. Following the tour we hopped on the bus and enjoyed a lunchtime concert of the Berlin Philharmonic, featuring a violinist, and member of the Philharmonic. After the planned events ended, students were encouraged to explore the city on their own. Many took in some retail therapy, and one group visited the TV-Turm. From the top of the TV-Turm, we could see the an aerial view of all Berlin.
