Girl & Dragons at the Museum

It's hard to describe the exhibition of the Ishtar Gate in Berlin's Pergamon Museum. The reconstruction is impressive. It even includes the original dragon image tiles. Yet, somehow I think I wasn't the only one who felt like this doesn't have a connection to the place. After all the original gate once guarded the entry to the city of Babylon - some 4000 km away. --- On another note regarding museums: I just finished reading the wonderful book "Meet me at the Museum" by Anne Youngson. Very lovely and delicately written. Thank you again for the reccomendation
