You're standing at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, the House of World Cultures, right in Berlin's Tiergarten park. Next door are the Carillon and the German Chancellery. First, take a look at the shape of the roof. Berliners call this building the pregnant oyster, or sometimes Jimmy Carter's smile. Can you see it?
