The Bode Museum: A magnificent "water castle", captivating visitors right from its impressive equestrian statue in the glorious entrance hall—even before stepping into its outstanding collections of Byzantine art, sculptures, and coins.

As the youngest of the pre-war buildings on Museum Island, it will once again dazzle visitors upon reopening with unique monuments such as the Pergamon Altar, the Market Gate of Miletus, and the Ishtar Gate.
A fascinating "substitute" for the closed Pergamon Museum: Here, you can learn all about the history of the Pergamon Altar and explore a captivating exhibition dedicated to this iconic monument.

The New, Old Palace: Discover its controversial history, remarkable architecture, and the museums it now houses.
The Old National Gallery: An impressive temple of art, home to 19th-century masterpieces ranging from Romanticism to Impressionism.
The architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel's masterpiece: The former 'Royal Museum'—Prussia's first purpose-built museum, designed to make art accessible to the people.
The New Museum: An architectural masterpiece, beautifully restored after the destruction of World War II. Its fascinating collection includes the world-famous bust of Nefertiti—a highlight of ancient art that adds to the unique charm of this museum.
