Neues Museum
In the location's words:
The Neues Museum on Museum Island impressively combines its eventful architectural history with outstanding highlights from its collections and is today one of the central institutions in Berlin’s museum landscape.
Built between 1841 and 1855 according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler, this late-Classical building was severely damaged during World War II; large sections—including the main staircase and entire wings—lay exposed as ruins for decades. Starting in the 1990s, the building was carefully reconstructed according to a design by David Chipperfield: he preserved the historic fabric, left traces of the war damage visible, and filled in missing sections with understated modern architecture. Since its reopening in 2009, the Neues Museum has housed the collections of the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, while also making its own history a subject of exhibition.
Highlights include the iconic bust of Queen Nefertiti, displayed as a standalone piece in the North Dome Hall; the “Berlin Green Head” from the Late Period; and artifacts from the so-called Treasure of Priam. Equally impressive is the approximately 3,000-year-old Berlin Gold Hat from the Bronze Age.
