The last few playlists in the series of ‘Music to Visit Museums By‘ have been inspired by types of museums, so I thought it was time for another playlist inspired by a city. Like the previous place inspired list ‘Music to visit Museums in Washington, D.C. by‘, Berlin is a museum lover’s dream. Whether you have the chance to visit Berlin’s wonderful museums, or are dreaming of Berlin’s museums from afar, I hope you enjoy the museum-inspired eclectic selection. I’ve added a note after each of the titles in the playlist about the relevant museum the song is referring to.
Track listing:
- On the Museum Island – Emmy the Great (Berlin’s famous ‘Museum Island’)
- Painter Song – Norah Jones (a multitude of art galleries and museums)
- Nefertiti – Miles Davis (Egyptian Museum & Papyrus Collection at the Neues Museum, home to the famous Nefertiti bust)
- Dinosaur – Ke$ha (Natural History Museum, home to the world’s tallest mounted dinosaur skeleton)
- I Have a Little Dreidel – Barkenaked Ladies (Jewish Museum Berlin)
- Robot Robot -Hafdis Huld (Museum for Communication, where three robots welcome visitors)
- Currywurst – Herbert Grönemeyer (Currywurst Museum)
- Alphabet Lost And Found – They Might Be Giants (Museum of Letters)
- The Hemp Museum – B-Legit (Hemp Museum)
- Sugar Sugar – The Archies (Sugar Museum)
- Video Games – Lana Del Rey (Computer Games Museum)
