Culture and Escort: Greta Brentano
Your time in Berlin will be twice as rich and intensive, if you share it with a muse.
Month: September 2014
Wintergarten Vaudeville
The film Cabaret (from 1972) starring Liza Minnelli gave an impression of what Berlin’s vaudeville once was – but you can be sure that it’s better now than ever!
Liebermann-Villa
This is the only museum in the world where you can simply look out the window to see the live models shown in the pictures inside.
Georg Kolbe Museum
This urban villa is the only Berlin artists’ home that opens its doors to the public.
Neues Museum
A world-famous bust is the star of this museum: Nefertiti (Egyptian for “the beautiful one has arrived”). She was the wife of pharaoh Akhenaton in the 14th century BC. The sculptor Thutmose surely could never have thought that his creation would become the epitome of Egyptian art in our days.
Neue Nationalgalerie
Designed by Bauhaus co founder Mies van der Rohe, this building is a landmark of modern architecture, and it also contains important testimonies of 20th century painting and sculpting.
Hamburger Bahnhof
If you intend to invest in art lucratively, you must first develop a sixth sense for it – and this museum is like an investor’s university.
Boros Collection
This private collection of contemporary art by Karen and Christian Boros is located in a former World War Two bunker crowned by a penthouse in the style of Mies van der Rohe, where the couple also lives.
Jewish Museum Berlin
The more you know about Jewish and German cultures and about the world’s biggest crime, the Shoah, the more you may ask: why?
Shoepassion
If you meet a woman for a first date, where will her gaze inevitably land? At your shoes, of course.
