In this museum you can see objects from Berlins’ history. But they are not only inside the building. Some are on the outside. Can you see the large eagle? It has a wingspan of 5.70 metres and weighs half a ton. This bird is over a hundred years old and has his own story to tell. It was created by the animal sculptor August Gaul for the “National-Kaiser-Wilhelm-Monument”. This memorial stood in front of the Berlin Palace from 1897 to 1950. The German Democratic Republic demolished it because they did no longer want a memento for the House of Hohenzollern. But the eagle was rescued and ended up in the museum. If you want to, have a closer look at the outside of the museum before you leave. There is a lot more to discover.
