In Berlin, there is a place called Museum Island. With stereotypical Prussian thoroughness, the five great museums and art galleries of the nation were all built together in this one place between 1825 and 1930. Badly damaged in the Second World War, they then found themselves on the wrong side of the Wall, their collections divided between East and West. Since reunification, this has been Germany's biggest cultural reconstruction project, a 1.5 billion Euro work in progress. It has led to a strange and wonderful architectural phenomenon, just completed: the Neues Museum, as restored by Brits. Gabion
