Next to the Brandenburg Gate and right the Embassy of France, is the Kennedy - Museum. The ex-U.S. President is indeed part of the memory of Berlin for his speech on June 23, 1963 and the famous "Ich bin ein Berliner", addressed in support of a city still bruised. Pretty small, the exhibition pays tribute to the man, his destiny without too much in

Last month, I was to a concert of a british band: The Wombats. Originally from Liverpool, as the group of four boys I forgot the name, they are only three and are almost more noise! Led by the charismatic leader Matthew Murphy, whose hair is comparable to that of Robert Smith (the "Cure" for the uneducated), the group delivered a performance full o

Today, I enjoyed my day off to visit one of the most visited museum in Berlin, the Pergamon Museum. This place is full of masterpieces of the past and allows to learn more about our ancestors, their history and then ours.

Indeed, the arrival of the "iron curtain" between Western Europe and the Eastern bloc had a considerable influence on the lifestyles of Berlin until his fall in 1989. The museum purposes, not without a cer

Before the international design festival in Berlin to be held from 1 to 5 June, I had the opportunity to visit this weekend the institution of the Bauhaus. From German "Bau": "building" and "haus": "home", this landmark of German architecture and design has been particularly abused during the Second World War. First closed by the Nazis and then re-

Inside the Sony Center is the museum of German cinema and television. Packed with technology and elegantly arranged, the rooms offer to travel through about a century of German cinema. From the pioneers such as Fritz Lang's masterpiece "Metropolis" to controversial work with "The Gods of the Stadium" by Leni Riefenstahl, between art film and Nazi p

Character of everyday life that we ended up forgotten in France, the "little guy from circulation," red or green, has nevertheless a story, especially in Berlin. Indeed, the inevitable "Ampelmann" or "Man-bulb" has become a hallmark of the capital in the world. Created in 1961 by Karl Peglau, "traffic psychologist" (Verkehrspsychologe) mascot is re
