You're standing on Kartäusergasse in Nuremberg, at the entrance to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It's the largest museum of cultural history in Germany. First, take a look around you. The Israeli sculptor Dani Karavan turned this street into the Way of Human Rights. The white columns carry articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A fitting welcome to a museum that says it's guided by respect for all cultures.
