Have you ever been to Berlin? What did you think?

Unfortunately a lot of tourists never venture out of museum island, and because of that they could never experience the true Berlin. Berlin is more than the TV Tower, Museums and the Reichstag. Well Die Berliner Sammlung [link] is a dA collection with artwork of Berlin or of Berlin Artists. The goal of the collection [link] is give a real taster of this often indescribable city via vision means.

Berlin is a pool of talent brimming with cultures, young people, artists and musicians from all over the world. One of the reasons they converge on Berlin is because unlike London, New York and Tokyo this metropolis is actually very affordable to live in. If you are somewhat poor, though like partying and want to see the more exciting parts of life, I totally recommend you visit or even relocate to Berlin.

USA: Land of the free. Berlin: Free too be truly free. Social constraints seem less visible in Berlin. The street art, is for me what makes Berlin a visual bomb. For a nation without nukes, Berlin can be taken as Germany's biggest bomb even. If you like street art, take a look at the Daily Deviation featured, BERLIN Graffiti Calendar 2009 [link]

A small sample of the collection -



Guys and girls, DeviantART'S own yama-dharma (aka, Micheal Korkia) is having a exhibition and for details please see his deviation [link]
