Oh yes - it is spectacular!!! Is the altar available for viewing yet? It was open on our first visit but closed on our last visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh1959 Posted May 7, 2020 #29 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Do try and visit and see it. We were lucky enough to be there in January 2014. It was magnificent, as was the entire museum, probably one of the best museums I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted May 7, 2020 #30 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Mainz, old town on the Rhine, Mogontiacum to the Romans, is famous for its cathedral, its carnival tradition and a typical stop for river cruise ships. Much liked is the excursion to the Gutenberg Museum. SWR, the regional television channel, has put together a virtual 360 degrees tour of Mainz with typical stops along the way and a tourist guide adding audio in German, if one wishes to listen. A nice bit of text easy to put through a translation program. Choose your stops from the list at the bottom of the page: https://www.swrfernsehen.de/landesschau-rp/specials/article-swr-5088~_detailPage-1_-dc56264c3eed6f7453c3f263012a8308a11ab691.html notamermaid Edited May 7, 2020 by notamermaid Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found the Altar, Ishtar Gate, Market Gate of Miletus, & the Meissner fragment (from the Epic of Gilgamesh) absolutely amazing. During our first two visits the Pergamon altar was available for viewing but during our most recent visit, the hall containing the altar was under renovation (scheduled to reopen in 2023). We hope to visit again during our next visit to Berlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
