Info

In front of the Alte Nationalgalerie (old national gallery), located on the museum island, another photo shoot with Anton Corbijn took place. A number of these photos can be found in the booklet for 'Achtung Baby'. The most famous picture is probably the one with Larry standing next to a Trabant and Bono next to a Mercedes. The wall, visible in the background of the picture, is no longer existing.

The band returned to this place while shooting footage for 'From the sky down'.

Just a short walk from here is the Friedrichsbrücke (Friedrichsbridge), where several foto- and videoshootings took place during their Achtung Baby sessions.

The building itself hosts a collection of 19th century paintings and sculptures that is well worth visiting.
