-
Athens:
Archaeological Museum - Beautiful bronzes and "Agamemnon's mask", found by
Heinrich Schliemann in Mykene
-
Madrid: El Prado
-
Amsterdam:
Rijksmuseum - Rembrandt, etc
-
Brussels:
Musée de l'art moderne. Very nice & large collection of 20th century art.
Impressed me more than the otherwise famous Museum of Modern Art in New York.
-
Berlin:
Pergamonmuseum - Impressively large Ishtar gate & Pergamon temple moved from
Babylon and rebuilt in
the 19th century. And other things.
-
Florence: I Uffizi. – The museum
has a great collection of paintings from the 13th to the 18th centuries.
During my visit in 2010, I estimated that all 34 rooms could be walked
through in 2 hours, giving an impression of the collections.
Photo Leonardo da Vinci painting
- Cairo: Egyptian Museum - Tutankamon, etc,
photo Tut's mask. If Egypt seems far, and if you are near
Tampa, Florida, USA, don't miss the beautiful replica of Tut's grave chamber in Busch Gardens.
