This 19th Century Dresden Museum Received a Careful Makeover 🤩How Did They Build That? | Smithsonian

[@TheMogregory]

'Careful makeover'?? It's an abomination

[@At0ThEb]

Like a video game when your graphics card got fried

[@abneryokum]

That's heinous.

[@alexrenn2479]

A handsome neoclassical building disfigured forever.

[@HUNVilly]

This trend makes me wanna cry.

[@nadorrakhon662]

TO DESTROY SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING WITH SUCH DISGUSTMENT. THEY SHOULD BE IN PRISON!

[@puncha.commie194]

The Poison Mushroom strikes again…

[@alexander0877]

So you took a beautiful building, and made it objectively hideous? Way to go.

[@roadrunner6224]

To be fair they aren’t anything special there are hundreds if not thousands of them in Germany.

[@ryanpmcguire]

@@roadrunner6224put there on purpose to sap the spirit of the people.

[@happycats685]

Yes, look up the architects who did this. They admit they hate European History/Architecture. This is vandalism and they know it.

[@alexander0877]

@@roadrunner6224 Then by all means, continue to destroy what's left of your country and replace them with glass angles.

[@instasnaptv]

@@roadrunner6224 And they can't build them anymore so leave these buildings alone and build your brutalist sheit elsewhere outside of historical cities

[@instasnaptv]

It's all so simple. The cities that preserved their cohesion and old architecture attract millions of people worldwide a year for it's beauty. They spend thousands of earned money to go to a place with old architecture. And then modern architects come around and tell us this is special en beautiful. Meanwhile cities that we're destroyed and full of this sht attract zero tourists.

How tragic.

Building with a tumor

Aliens will come visit the museum in search of answer regarding our extinction. They might find what they'll look for...

When ww3 breaks out i hope this gets hit first. greetings from germany

[@bobatchison-pallasart-hagi8884]

Looks like an East German monument from the 1970's celebrating the Soviet victory in 1945.

[@1jotun136]

The arrogance of contemporary architects is gobsmaking.

[@trippy6183]

This looks so much like the ROM in Toronto…

[@davidhead336]

Same Architect to be fair

[@bobatchison-pallasart-hagi8884]

What a HORROR!!!

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

just another abomination - why can't they leave old buildings alone? why flatter architects' over-inflated egos?

[@giantfactory]

I like modern architecture, I like old classical architecture,... and this is just hideous.

[@Servus-Dei-1997]

It looks as if the building has a parasite on it.

[@NothingBootz]

They absolutelly masacred the architecture, wish they kept it seperated.

[@boson2916]

The construction is like a heart surgery, margin of error is critical.

[@kirbywaite1586]

They did a version of this to the Louvre decades ago.

[@1jotun136]

It was wrong then, it's wrong now.

[@efanjul5768]

Horrifying architectural sacrilege!

[@juanxxxo6856]

Igual de horroroso que cierta pirámide en Paris. Un despropósito 👎🏽

[@dave271]

It's awful that they destroyed such a beautiful historical building. However, unfortunately this is no surprise as this is a very common theme in Germany when they tear down so many historical buildings or doing completely unnecessary overhauls like this. I understand they have a troubled history for their country but destroying all of their historical buildings and other sites and items is not the answer to dealing with that history.

[@roadrunner6224]

You are obviously talking out of your Fox News arse, because you have no idea how Denkmalschutz works.

[@dave271]

@@roadrunner6224 Well firstly I don't watch Fox News nor am I an American Republican as they are the primary audience for Fox News. Secondly, I do understand how the Denkmalshutz functions and I am not particularly a fan because they pick and choose what history and locations they would like to preserve all over Germany and it's other land. This goes for German museums as well. They shouldn't be demolishing historical buildings because they choose to bulldoze over the unsavory parts of their history instead using them as a teaching tool.

[@boson2916]

The name "Museum of Military History" debunks all of the above.

[@dave271]

@@boson2916 However you will be able to go to this Museum of Military History and you will see little no references or exhibits to the period of the Second World War. It's the same case in every Japanese museum as well.

[@boson2916]

@@dave271 really? That's a shadow of an ostrich in the building.

[@AFloridaSon]

They should do statues of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione, who connected a lot of us to Dresden's past history. (Only legends know.)

[@Carla-nb3iv]

Indeed

[@HPCAT88]

Hands were rubbed, when designing this.

[@wajahatasim9696]

People hating on this have no architectural knowledge

[@bobatchison-pallasart-hagi8884]

Perhaps a monument to Arthur Harris and RAF Bomber command...

[@MarkfromNewYork]

Looking horrible

[@missjulyyy]

apparently I'm in the minority but I really like this juxtaposition and the symbolism of the brutality of it, especially as someone who lost family members in the holocaust (and the survivors were not allowed home due to the soviet takeover)

[@qazwerty3606]

THEN DO THIS UNGLY STUFF IN ISREAL AND LEAVE US ALONE!

[@raekell]

To all of the comments that this ruins the existing building: that's kind of the point. They had an architect of Jewish descent come in and call out German military for being dicks back in the day. Its a statement.

[@KrunoBaraba]

It feels like Soules Matrix swallowing beautiful and Souled Classical Heritage . Share horror .

[@Spetet]

More revenge.

[@andresd3104]

Horrible.
