Women’s contributions to society are often unseen and seldom considered in art. Many women’s names and their stories have long since been forgotten. Using French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch works on paper, the exhibition looks behind the allegorical scenes to shed light on women’s work in the 18th century, including toiling in the fields, caring for children and performing manual labour.The small thematic exhibition presents 25 French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch prints from the 16th to 18th centuries preserved in the Kupferstichkabinett’s (Museum of Prints and Drawings) rich holdings. Works have been selected that show women in everyday activities, working as peasants, farmhands, teachers, maids, midwives and courtesans. One focus provide insight into the professions practised by women, including attending to births as midwives; another shows those areas of society where men and women went about their daily tasks side by side (as equals?). Beneath the allegorical layers of meaning, the viewer often discovers self-confident women going about their lives, yet the hardship of everyday travail is evident. To this day, so-called care work for children and the elderly receives little recognition; efforts are being made to reconcile work and family life and to achieve equality between women and men, including in financial matters, but these goals have yet to be fully attained.

Museum Island

Night Attractions

Melsida

Museum Island in Berlin is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a cultural treasure trove. Located in the heart of the city, it&rsquo;s home to five world-class museums, including the Pergamon Museum and the Altes Museum. The island offers a mix of art, archaeology, and history, making it a must-visit for culture lovers. The architecture is stunning, and it&rsquo;s a perfect spot to explore Berlin&#39;s rich history. Expect crowds, especially during peak tourist seasons, but the exhibits are well worth it.

Berlin Cathedral

Night view

_TI***ya

If you&rsquo;ve already made it to Berlin, I highly recommend climbing the stairs to the top of the Berlin Cathedral for the panoramic view. However, it really depends on your luck&mdash;during my visit the dome was under major renovation, and most of the view was blocked.Be prepared: the staircase has many steps, and the walkway at the top is quite narrow. When it gets crowded, you can&rsquo;t stay up there for long. For the best experience, I suggest visiting after you&rsquo;ve explored most of Berlin&rsquo;s major sights&mdash;seeing the city you just walked through spread out beneath you makes the view even more rewarding.

Charlottenburg Palace

Historic buildings

Charlottenburg Palace is beautifully preserved and gives you a real sense of Prussian royal life. The interiors are elegant and richly decorated, and the overall layout of the visitor route is well organized, making it easy to follow the story of the palace as you move from one room to the next. The gardens are also very pleasant for a walk, especially in good weather.One important tip: tickets can sell out quickly, and timed entry is strictly managed. I highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to ensure a smooth visit and the best experience.

Berliner Fernsehturm

Book now for tomorrow

The Berlin TV Tower (Berliner Fernsehturm) is an iconic landmark offering stunning panoramic views of the city from its observation deck. Standing at 368 meters, it&rsquo;s Germany&rsquo;s tallest structure, and visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view of Berlin&#39;s landmarks. The rotating restaurant at the top adds to the experience, though it can be a bit pricey. It&#39;s a must-visit for first-timers in the city!
