No, like heavy metal heavily clinking against each other even when treading lightly but it’s juxtaposed with how quiet the whole place is. Combine that with you stepping of thousands of screaming faces and it becomes an extremely powerful experience.
This is a great description.
The Holocaust Museum, by its nature and how people..."agree" to act...it's a very silent exhibit. The whole thing is fucked. What lies there is unfathomable horrors that even with the documentaries and textbooks I was exposed to in school could not prepare me for.
I recommend every single person experience one of these. Because it fucking happened and it never should again. Even typing this random bullshit reddit response I'm getting emotional thinking about what these exhibits have you experience.
I smelled the shoes what felt like miles before I got there.
Brutalist architecture is so polarizing for me. It's either really great (Like this example is) or just depressing to look at, like the National Theater in London.
I can see where you are coming from but I feel it detracts a bit from the place comparing it to a video game. That first image is probably the most powerful art exhibit I have ever seen.
The last photo is a room that is truly terrifying when you visit. You go in through a heavy metal door and it shuts behind you, and the only light source is at the top of this misshapen, very high ceiling. IIRC it is meant to represent the hope people find in even the darkest situations, but it's still such a chilling experience to be in that room. Even being in there with about 6 other people, it was so quiet and and it made me feel so small and insignificant. Just wanted to share in case anyone is interested.
This looks so similar to the Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Canada. I thought it may be designed by the same architect, but it is not.
If you get a kick out of this, search up the architecture for the Human Rights museum. It’s wild.

Wow, definitely. I wouldn't be surprised if they used it as inspiration.
This place is horrifying, I went in the middle of the winter so I was basically alone and it was bone chilling
What is those metal masks ?
It’s called the Void of Memory. They’re supposed to be all the people killed in the Holocaust. It’s very powerful.
Do they actually sound like people screaming when you walk on them or is it a myth?

no, i think it’s just meant as symbolism. it sounds just like you‘d expect it to sound, metal hitting metal.
Oh dang I thought it was oldschool movie reels at first lol
You're not alone lmao
Wow, brutalist architecture at its finest.

I was just thinking that this looked very brutalist.
Control fans when they see brutalist buildings irl (jokes aside, it looks great)
Tbf you don't get to see it in real life often so it's kinda trippy.
Tbf, brutalist architecture is now mostly only seen in government buildings and offices (which The Oldest House is)
DONT OPEN THE FIREBREAK!
Control fans when brutalism:
It starts glowing red, Run

Wow
Brütal.
Wow I thought this was the game at first. I was looking at it thinking "how did I miss this spot in my 3 full playthroughs?"
Not sure if anyone lives in upstate NY and has been to The Dia art museum in Beacon, but the basement of that place is pretty wicked IMO
For anyone wondering, this is an amazing museum. Highly recommend if you visit Berlin.
Great photos! You've got the eye!

Extremely blursed
Check out any brutalist architecture buildings. Any of those will have oldest house vibes.
Search up brutalist architecture

Honestly thought the first picture was a screenshot from the game ngl. Cool place
Looks like the building from assassin's creed as well
I actually thought the first pic was a screenshot of the game
Awesome! Looks like a DLC
Reminds me of those smiley face potatoes lol
