Altes Museum, Berlin

Many designs and buildings by Schinkel exude the noble pathos of Gilly's (his teacher's) Romantic Neoclassicism, for example the Rotunda in the Altes Museum in Berlin.

The interior, a central hall based on the model of the Pantheon containing an exhibition of sculptures, is reached across an open flight of steps.

The photo shows the interior of the Rotunda.
