Haus der Kulturen der Welt - House of World Culture, nicknamed "the pregnant oyster".

The Reichstag is not a museum as l once mentioned its the German Parliament House. It was the symbol and building that gave power the Nazi party. In 1933 it was destroyed by fire, Hitler blaming the communists asking the goverment at the time to give all powers to the Nazi party to crush the communists from their so called attack- but it was all a hocks Hitler started the fire and became leader over night. It was all apart of is big plan, the rest is history.............
