The 10 best record-breaking museums in Berlin
Berlin counts more than 170 museums, yet some simply stand out. In the Neues Museum on Museum Island, the bust of Nefertiti reigns, being to this house what the Mona Lisa is to the Louvre. The Museum fuer Naturkunde is home to the T. rex "Tristan Otto", one of the best-preserved skeletons of its kind in the world, while the Deutsches Technikmuseum at the Gleisdreieck lays out the history of technology from the railway carriage to the computer. The Neue Nationalgalerie impresses through the glass architecture of Mies van der Rohe alone, and the Juedisches Museum is the largest of its kind in all of Europe. This is not about just any museum, but about records you can touch. Which of these superlatives is right at the top of your list?

I like museums that leave me speechless, and Berlin has a few of those. I stood for a long time in front of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum, and in front of the T. rex in the natural history museum I felt small all over again. For this list I chose the houses that are nothing less than world class in their field.
