896 DE - Museumsinsel (Museum Island), Berlin (1999)

Brief Description

"The museum as a social phenomenon owes its origins to the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. The five museums on the Museumsinsel in Berlin, built between 1824 and 1930, are the realization of a visionary project and show the evolution of approaches to museum design over the course of the 20th century. Each museum was designed so as to establish an organic connection with the art it houses. The importance of the museum's collections – which trace the development of civilizations throughout the ages – is enhanced by the urban and architectural quality of the buildings."

柏林的博物馆岛
"博物馆是一种社会现象，源于18世纪的启蒙运动。柏林的博 物馆岛共有五个建于1824年至1930年间的博物馆，是一种理想的实现，展示了20世纪博物馆设计方式的变革。各个博物馆的设计都有意地在其艺术藏品之 间建立起有机联系，而各建筑的规划和建筑质量又大大提升了馆中藏品的价值，这些藏品展示了各个时期人类文明发展的历史。"
