German Military Museum Refurbished By Libeskind


Dresden, Germany (AP) - Dresden museum of military history is a re-public, after a dramatic redesign by Daniel Libeskind.

U.S. architect added a five-story wedge of glass, concrete and steel that cuts through the former armory built in the armies of the Kaiser Wilhelm I, in addition to interrupt the symmetry of the neoclassical building, which is a symbol of how democracy in Germany is driven by past authoritarian.


More than a simple addition radical euro62.5 million ($ 85 million) restoration, begun in 2004, to rethink the approach to military history - the opposite point of view, a soldier with that of the civilian population and to focus on moving beyond the , battles and weapons of the heroes.

150,000 square feet (14,000 square feet) has nearly 10,500 museum pieces and re-open on Saturday.
