MARTIN-GROPIUS-BAU
10am-7pm Wed-Mon; Potsdamer Platz, Potsdamer Platz)
With its mosaics, terracotta reliefs and airy atrium, this Italian Renaissance-style exhibit
space named for its architect (Walter Gropius' great-uncle) is a celebrated venue for high-
calibre travelling shows. Whether it's a David Bowie retrospective, the latest works of Ai
Weiwei or an ethnological exhibit on the mysteries of Angkor Wat, it's bound to be well cur-
ated and utterly fascinating.
The Berlin state parliament convenes in the stately neo-Renaissance structure (Abgeord-
netenhaus) across the street.

Surrealist Angel
as
well as the
