From reuterspictures: Berlin's museum directors look forward to reopening after iconic artworks have been hidden from view for months

BERLIN - Through the cold winter months, Berlin’s museum directors have been custodians of silence. With doors closed to visitors due to the coronavirus pandemic artworks have languished hidden from view, but now curators are looking forward to reopening.

“A museum is there to be open to people, to offer them something and to make art accessible to all and if we can’t fulfil this task of ours due to current circumstances, it’s understandable but also very painful,” she said. At the Pergamon Museum, the imposing blue Ishtar Gate, reconstructed using fragments of the original from Babylon, is normally a major tourist attraction but only those who work at the museum have been able to admire it recently.
