Pergamonmuseum
(German: “Pergamon Museum”) art museum in Berlin that contains three separate collections: the Collection of Classical Antiquities (Antikensammlung), the Museum of the Ancient Near East (Vorderasiatisches Museum), and the Museum of Islamic Art (Museum für Islamische Kunst). The Pergamonmuseum is one of Berlin’s most-visited museums.

Built between 1910 and 1930, the Pergamonmuseum is one of the museums constituting the internationally acclaimed National Museums of Berlin. Together with the Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, Neues Museum, and Alte Nationalgalerie—all located on the city’s Museum Island—it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. The Pergamonmuseum takes its name from its main attraction, the altar of Zeusfrom Pergamon (Pergamum [in present-day Turkey]). Considered a masterpiece of the Hellenistic Age, this ancient Greek structure was shipped to Berlin in 1910, and the museum was built, in part, to house it. The Pergamonmuseum also contains other large archaeological structures, including the Market Gate of Miletus and the Ishtar Gate.
I like the sound of the Museum for Islamic ****s.
 
Problem with that weekend is it’s the jubilee weekend. He following weekend would be better to avoid long weekend plans.

Aye, it's not the best weekend, I'm probably 50/50 at best for the Saturday, depending on the weather. In Beni the following week, so, that's a non-starter.

I'm in Fuerteventura on a solo holiday the week after too.
Need some down time as all the travelling is knackering me out.
