Visting Museums in Berlin

After the 4 day festival in Stuttgart, we thought it would be nice to visit another city in Europe. We chose Berlin because it is known to be an entertaining city with lots of historical places to see.
Most of the museums were cheap or free to go to because the tickets could be purchased with a student card. It was great opportunity to go to these museums and exhibitions to gain knowledge and explore the city.
We also visited the Landesmuseum Württemberg (https://www.landesmuseum-stuttgart.de/) in Stuttgart. We came across by chance and decided to see the exhibition. It contained information and artefacts that were collected from different times in the past. There were pots, pans, jewellery, clothing from different eras, so that was interesting to see.

We visited the Neues Museum in the Alte NationalGalerie (http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-and-institutions/neues-museum/home.html). 
I personally wanted to visit this museum because of its large quantity of Egyptian artefacts which I find very interesting.
Though the museum was very large and had other sections like Greek and Roman Art, it would have cost a lot more.

We visited the Berlin Zoo and Aquarium which was very exciting. It took us at least 4 hours to see the whole zoo so that day was very tiring also. (http://www.zoo-berlin.de/)











There was an exhibition at the Computer Games Museum in Berlin which we got a chance to visit. Though I am not into video games, I still enjoyed learning the history and there was a timeline of games since they were first created to present that you could play.
It was a good exhibition to be able to experience. (http://www.computerspielemuseum.de/1210_Home.htm)

Below are some pictures of old gaming hardware which was very interesting to see.








 
For the second time, we visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and other Memorial Sites around Berlin. (http://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/)
