Description

The world-renowned Pergamon Museum in Berlin houses three collections under a single roof: the Museum of the Ancient Near East, the Museum of Islamic Art and parts of the Collection of Classical Antiquities. Treasures spanning several millennia, most notably the unique full-scale reconstructions of ancient architecture - the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way of Babylon, the Mshatta Facade as well as the Pergamon Altar and the Market Gate from Miletus - draw 1.5 million visitors every year. In 1999 the Pergamon Museum and the Museum Island were added to the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage sites. With its concise texts and richly illustrated pages, this volume guides the reader through the magnificent collections. --Page 4 of cover.
