Neues Museum

Located in the heart of Berlin’s Museum Island, the Neue Museum, built in the nineteenth century, was transformed between 2003 and 2009 by British architect Sir David Chipperfield. Since then, this building - both classic and contemporary - presents a chronological journey through the museum’s magnificent collection of prehistoric, ancient and Middle Age art. The Egyptian civilization is particularly in the spotlight at this iconic Berlin museum. Thus, in addition to the Le Moustier Neanderthal skull and the collection of antiquities unearthed by Heinrich Schliemann at Troy, the high point of the visit is undoubtedly the famous Nefertiti Bust.
