The part of Berlin that used to be on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain 
until 1990 is today one of the most interesting and dynamic urban areas 
anywhere in the world. While parts are getting expensive and gentrified, it 
is still far cheaper to be a young artist here than in any other major city 
in Europe or North America. I attended a conference there in late June, with 
ample time to walk around and take in the city. As is often the case, 
looking at art was a major part of the walk. The highlights were the 
magnificent Jewish Museum designed by Libeskind, the Berlin Gallery of 
Modern Art, and the street art near the Warschauer Strasse metro station. A 
gallery of 69 images is here:

I promise: there are no images of Checkpoint Charlie, or Kurf?rstendamm, or 
the Parliament or the other big, well-known attactions (with the exception 
of the TV tower on Alexanderplatz).

In addition, for more information on some of the places depicted, have a 
look at their respective web pages:
