Old Museum in Berlin

You're standing at the Altes Museum, on Museum Island in the heart of Berlin. Look at that long row of columns across the front. There are eighteen of them, in the Ionic style, and together they make one of the best-known façades of German Neoclassicism. Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the building for King Frederick William the Third of Prussia. It opened in 1830, back then as the Royal Museum.
