Who says it always has to be a romantic dinner or a dreamy breakfast? If you’re a culture lover, you might as well watch a play. Or go to the museum … or… or…
DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF THINGS
The new exhibition at the Bröhan Museum is dedicated to the beautiful things, the Belles Choses. It shows the most beautiful sides of French Art Nouveau with its floral shapes and playful but elegant patterns. So if you like to look at beautiful things and appreciate the richness of design of that time, the Bröhan Museum is the right place for you. www.broehan-museum.de
FEELING LIKE ROYALTY
After a visit to the Bröhan Museum, you can simply walk across the street to the imposing Charlottenburg Palace and stroll through the palace park. Even if the flowers are not yet in full bloom in February, it is still worth taking a walk through the magnificent grounds. Or you can visit the castle with its enchanting galleries and collections. www.spsg.de/schloesser-gaerten/objekt/schlossgarten-charlottenburg/
