I did just about everything these fine berliners have recommmended, and I agree with them. Only problems I had was that the Judisches Museum was very ugly in person. That was a let down. The metal facade was very junky looking. The funny thing is that I took pictures of it... and the pictures make it look gorgeous!!?? go figure.
Another let down was the Bauhaus Archive. They really didn't have much on display, which was surprising because the bauhaus produced soooo much!
I highly recommend going up the top of the Reichstag dome at night. It was beautiful and memorable.
Another cool museum was the Brohan Museum in Charlottenburg. A massive collection of very cool art nouveau/art deco.
Also a must is the hamburger bahnhof museum. very cool, old train station - turned massive art museum.
Unfortunately most of the museums on Museum Island where under renovation. The Pergamon was still open, though. Gorgeous stolen pieces on display. A must if you fancy seeing things such as the original gates of fucking Babylon!! I was in awe.
I could go on but my fingers are tired....
