Offbeat Traveler: Humboldt Box in Berlin
If you’re visiting Berlin this summer, you’ll notice an unusual addition to the city’s Mitte district -- the Humboldt Box, a futuristic museum housing exhibits related to art, science and culture. This geometric structure opened last week near Museum Island.
The Humboldt Box serves as a interim fill-in for the Humboldt Forum, envisioned as a place for the exchange of cultures from around the world. The temporary structure will be dismantled when the Humboldt Forum is completed, probably in 2019.
