Deutsches Historische Museum, Berlin _ IM Pei

The Pei building for the German Historical Museum was opened and was Pei’s first work in Germany.

Designed to house temporary exhibitions, the building has four different levels and is connected with the Zeughaus building by an underground passageway. The levels offer visitors new and surprising views. Sight lines provide an architectonic correspondence between past and present.

An illuminated attraction when it’s dark, by day the glass wall reflects the historical façades of the surrounding buildings and reveals a view of the visitors as they make their way through the house.
