2019 is here! And after a short working week, the first weekend of the year is just around the corner. Let's be honest - we all still have some hangovers from the holidays and the turn of the year. So the weekend will probably not be too wild, so let's use the bleak days to check off some of the exhibitions that will take place in the coming days and that we never managed to get on the bucket list in 2018. We'll tell you in the weekend tips where you have to go now.
Tip 1: Visit soon I: Europa und das Meer (Europe and the sea)
Until Sunday you can visit the exhibition "Europe and the Sea" in the German Historical Museum. Even if it doesn't seem like it to us here in Germany and Central Europe, Europe has quite a few points of contact with the sea - more than all other continents. In this exhibition you will learn what influence the sea had and has on Europe's development beyond the coastal cities and holiday resorts.
When: until Sunday
Where: Deutsches Historisches Museum (German History Mueum)

Tip 2: Visit soon II: Tristan – Berlin shows teeth
His stay has been extended several times, but on Sunday it really is over. The T-Rex Tristan leaves the Museum of Natural History and thus Berlin. Therefore our tip: Take a look at one of the best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons in the world. With a length of 12 meters, Tristan is really impressive - and the only original T-Rex in Europe.
When: until Sunday
Where: Museum for Natural history
