The Berlin Museum Island
The Museum Island in Berlin is the northern tip of the Spree Island - and it is also a magnificent work of art itself, involving world-renowned museums gathered in an extraordinary ensemble. The many outstanding exhibits include the Nefertiti and the Pergamon frieze.
Since 1999, the museum complex in the city centre of Berlin has been the only architectural and cultural ensemble that is considered part of UNESCO World Heritage.
Bode-Museum: The museum houses an extensive collection of sculptures and treasures of the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Numismatic Collection.
Neues Museum: Since reopening in 2009, the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History have once again found a place to display their treasures in the museum. The showpiece of the New Museum is the bust of Nefertiti.
Alte Nationalgalerie: Built between 1867 and 1876 the museum Alte Nationalgalerie features works of Classicism, Romanticism, the Biedermeier era, Impressionism and early Modernism.
Altes Museum: Designed by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it was thus the first public museum in Prussia. The museum's permanent exhibition entitled “New Antiquity in the Old Museum" (collection of classical antiquities and gold treasury) presents Greek and Roman art and sculptures.
Pergamonmuseum: From 23 October 2023, the Pergamon Museum on Berlin's Museum Island will remain closed to visitors until spring 2027 due to the necessary renovations within the framework of the "Master Plan Museumsinsel" (Master Plan Museum Island). With the Berlin WelcomeCard Museum Island you will instead receive free admission to the exhibition Pergamonmuseum. Das Panorama.
