Das Alte Museum Unter den Linden

 Germany > Berlin

---

Karl Friedrich Schinkel's basic motif in his architectural concept for the old museum forms a long -stretched hall with 18 Ionian columns on the southern main front of the building. After its completion, it represents a high -quality counterweight to the monumental castle facade and the armory (glory hall). Adler stylized in full length, one over every pillar. The four corners of the roof cornice adorn candlilight women from sandstone.
