This is just a model of the Pergamon altar. The real thing will come tomorrow. When German explorers excavated the site in Turkey, they found numerous of the temple's friezes lying around the site, all exposed to the elements. The Turkish authorities of that time allowed these to be removed (after paying some money) to Berlin, Germany. Here in the Pergamon museum in Berlin, they reconstructed a full scale model of the altar and placed the surviving friezes in their rightful place. It is so amazing to view it.
