Visit the Altes Museum
Designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the Altes Museum is known for its monumental Ionic colonnade facing the Lustgarten. Eighteen columns frame the entrance, while a central rotunda recalls classical architecture. Inside, explore Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities from the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
Explore the Neues Museum and the Nefertiti Bust
The Neues Museum combines Friedrich August Stüler’s 19th-century design with David Chipperfield’s reconstruction, completed after the building’s wartime destruction. Its Egyptian Museum displays the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti in the North Dome Room. Access to individual galleries and exhibitions may depend on opening schedules and ticket availability.
Discover the Bode-Museum
At the island’s northern tip, the Bode-Museum houses the Museum of Byzantine Art and the Sculpture Collection. Explore works from different periods and regions, including Byzantine art and European sculpture. The building is a distinct part of Museum Island’s architectural history.
Check Which Museums Are Open
Museum Island includes five historic museum buildings: the Altes Museum, Neues Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Bode-Museum, and Pergamonmuseum. As of October 11, 2026, the main Pergamonmuseum building is closed for renovation, with reopening planned in stages beginning in 2027. Check current museum access and restoration notices before choosing an itinerary.
