You're standing at the Bode Museum, on the northern tip of Museum Island in Berlin. Look at its shape. The building fills the triangular point of the island exactly, a piece of land that was cut off from the rest when a railway line came through. Court architect Ernst von Ihne designed it in Baroque Revival style for Emperor William the Second. It was completed in 1904.
