An oldie photographed back in November 2019. One of the images where I always think "This is actually quite nice" when I flip through the images in Lightroom and then forget about it when I go further back (or forth) and see another one of these "actually quite nice" images. So I decided to finally process and upload it so as not to forget about it for another year. Photographed with the Laowa C-Dreamer 7,5mm F2.
Taken at the inner courtyard (the "Schlüterhof", named after Andreas Schlüter, one of the architects of the Zeughaus) of the historical part of the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German Historical Museum, "DHM"): the former Zeughaus (Arsenal), one of the oldest buildings in Berlin's historical centre. The Zeughaus was built between 1695 and 1706. The DHM was founded in 1987 to celebrate Berlin's 750th anniversary; back then it was located at the Reichtstagsgebäude (in former West Berlin) which since the German reunification in 1990 once again serves its designated purpose as the seat of the German parliament. As a result, the DHM moved to the Zeughaus in 1990 as well, and the first exhibition was shown in 1991.
The modern glass roof you can see here was installed during the construction work for Ieoh Ming Pei's modern adjacent building between 1998 and 2003 (please check my album if you are interested in more images from the DHM).
When we visited, there was an exhibition about Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt in the new building of the DHM. The group of children you can see here looked pretty happy and elated that they could finally leave the exhibition. While indeed interesting, I think that particular exhibition wasn't quite drafted for younger children, so their joy of being "free" again was understandable ;)
Processing-wise I decided to add an image border because I think it looks nice for this type of historical building. I also enhanced the image in Topaz Gigapixel because after removing the wide-angle distortions and adjusting the POV the image (of only 16 MP) had become rather small.
Happy Hump Day, everyone, and enjoy the rest of your week :)
