De: Annalise, die den Altbau des Museums schätzte, hob ihren Blick zu den hohen Decken und den dekorierten Wänden.
En: Annalise, who appreciated the old building of the museum, raised her gaze to the high ceilings and the decorated walls.

De: "Das ist ein wunderschöner Ort", bemerkte sie lächelnd.
En: "This is a beautiful place," she remarked with a smile.

De: Doch viele Besucher machten es schwer für Klaus, einen genauen Blick darauf zu werfen.
En: But many visitors made it difficult for Klaus to get a clear view.

De: "Klaus, hier ist zu viel los", sagte Annalise.
En: "Klaus, it's too crowded here," said Annalise.

De: "Vielleicht gibt es auf der anderen Seite weniger Leute."
En: "Maybe there are fewer people on the other side."

De: Klaus stimmte ihr zu und begann durch die Hallen zu navigieren, bis sie an einen stilleren Teil des Museums kamen.
