Add a review about the Berlin-Dahlem Museum Center

The Berlin-Dahlem Museum-Museum, a part of the State Museums of Berlin, is located in the formerly Dahlem building in the south-west Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf,

The group of museums of Dahlem united in one place a collection of exhibits of non-European art and culture, which developed over the centuries. This is one of the most important in the whole world and unique in its kind complex, if we talk about its size, quality and balance. The plan for its creation was proposed in the beginning of the 20th century, but only after the reconstruction of the building in the 1970s it became possible to implement it.

As far back as the 19th century, the first village was formed in the Dahlem estate, which by 1920 entered the district Tselendorf. In memory of this in the mid-1990s. it was decided to set up the Agricultural Museum here, and so far everyone who comes here has an excellent opportunity to visit the store that preserved the interior of the 1920s.

The Berlin-Dalem Museum Center includes: the Museum of Asian Art, the Ethnological Museum and the Museum European cultures

The project of the construction of the Museum Center Berlin-Dahlem was directed by Wilhelm von Bode, who was then the chief architect who built all the museums in the districts of Dahlem and Mitte. As a basis, he took the style of "new materiality", whose popularity in Germany grew very much in the 1920s, and a characteristic feature was the approach to reality, devoid of idealism and romance. However, the construction itself was completed already forty years after the death of Bode, in 1969-1973, under the supervision of the architects Ebert and Bornemann
