The opening round in Berlin's Humboldt Forum is about to reach an airy climax.
On October 16, the roof terrace on the 680 million euro center for art, culture and science will unlock the doors.
At a height of around 30 meters there is not only the best view of Berlin, but also a restaurant named after the French naturalist Jeanne Baret, as the Humboldt Forum announced on Thursday.
Berlin - There are also two works of art to be discovered on the roof.
“Insurgentes Sur” focuses on a golden silhouette of Berlin's twin city Mexico City.
At the end of the year, a sound installation by the Nigerian artist Emeka Ogboh will also be able to be heard.
The first parts of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art have been on view on the second and third floors of the west wing since September.
After years of discussion and some delays, the Humboldt Forum was opened as a first step in July.
